Weather

typical windloading on NE aspects mostly clear skies cold, calm winds. Noticed quick formation of ground fog esp in low areas starting at 1700

Snowpack

Average depth of snowpack 4'+. top layers holding moisture even in cold temps but still very light and flufffy. we had snow coming over the hoods and windshields all day, left 12" to 18" deep tracks almost everywhere. did notice some very deep collapsing but it usually required substantial loading like multiple sleds parked close together with riders waddling around in the snow, like at lunch break or when people were stuck
