60-100cms of 4F recent storm snow overlying the mid January FC-CR layer. Foot pen of 80cms and ski pen f 45cms. Challenging skiing on slopes under 35 degrees. Cold easterly winds last night helped suck moisture from the upper snowpack but solar radiation today was re-humidifying the surface. Endless evidence of recent widespread natural avalanche cycle with numerous size 3-4 on all aspects.
