Snowpack

Snow: Gettin' thick on east aspects in the sun. Stayin' drier in them trees. Crust formin' on southerlies. Avi Activity: Saw some point releases from the recent storm near trees / higher cliffs on steep terrain that sit in the sun. These were on all aspects. None stepped down or propagated or caused anything more than small sloughs - they were a couple days old. Skiers caused a few steep rollovers to wet slough off, stopping at less steep terrain, but nothing propogated.
