Made our way up to check out Mt Cain today. We expected more snow with the overnight storm but only found trace to 3 cm had fallen here. Moderate to strong south winds had moved what snow was available for transport and built tiny wind slabs up to 10 cm thick. The new snow is bonding poorly, and we were able to get some mini sluffs to run far and fast on the crust. Thinking the snow from the next storm will probably do the same thing. Road is plowed all the way to the parking lot.
