Weather

Tons of wind transport, we even have a cornice over our hot tub! 12" night of 12/24; 7" more during day 12/25.

Snowpack

No whumping, yet. Some cracking. We've skied a bunch of steep stuff in the trees and have not been able to kick off a storm slab or persistent slab. I think the storm layer is still not heavy enough nor slabbed up enough. Below 10,000 feet anyway.

Avalanche

Overall, quite an energetic storm but not yet producing the avy cycle I would have expected here in the Marble Zone. But tonight could take it over the threshold. I fully expected Mud to run over road today, and it has not done so as of dark.
