Snowpack

~6 in of light snow fell on top of mixed bag of surface conditions. Below TL, mostly wet grains. Above TL on E aspect, snow was cold and dry down to observed depth of 50cm. New snow was bonded well to surface with little to no sloughing on steep slopes. Bottom third of Silver Couloir slid in the last week or so (see avy ob) and the bottom was filled with frozen debris.
