17"/1.25". Cloudy skies and light snow all day long, but only 1-2" additional at 1330. Moderate wind loading throughout the day from SW winds.

Widespread, tender cornice development from persistent windloading from 20-30 mph SW winds.

Observed natural avalanche activity was mostly confined to small, shallow slab and loose snow releases.
