Weather

Cloudy skies, single digit temperatures, moderate SW winds. At 1200, measured 18" of new snow with 1.35" of water content (this was a two-day total). Just of trace of new snow during the day.

Snowpack

No signs of instability, but deep snow kept us from widespread terrain exploration. Windloaded cornice-like features were easily triggered, but did not result in avalanche release (E aspects below TL).
