Weather
Snowy. Rates of S2-S3 in the meat of the storm mid-day. HST in the 12-15" range by 4pm. Forecasted winds didn't materialize in this part of the zone. Gusts never exceeded light speeds.
Snowpack
A few rumbling wumphs and collapses in southerly facing meadow. Snowmo tracks left 20-25" divots with any throttle blips. Base layers are garbage. Pole baskets go straight to ground with minimal effort. Ski quality was top notch, 12-15" skied knee to mid-thigh thanks to unsupportable base. Stuck to less than 30* slopes.
Avalanche
40+ degree road cuts had quite a bit of natural point releases. Wasn't able to view any larger terrain so can't verify any other activity.
