Weather

Obscured most of the day. A few times we could just see the sun through the clouds, but it did not last long. Another 6" Hn from 8 am to 2 pm today. At exposed ridge crests just enough wind for some transport. It was enough to rapidly build very soft & reactive cornices, but not so much wind slabs. Elsewhere on our tour wind was not much if any factor. Leaving mainly soft storm slabs.

Snowpack

Mainly two + feet of new snow on either ground on the more southerly aspects, to several feet of newer snow on facets on more northerly to north east aspects.
