Weather

4.5" new snow with 0.3" of water content from 11/23. Overcast skies, cold temps, and gusty SW winds. Evidence of widespread wind transport. Light snow during the day, but minimal accumulation. Snowfall and winds increased in the late afternoon.

Snowpack

Snowpit showed poor snowpack structure, but no signs of instability due to insufficient new snow slab overburden.
