Weather

BTL - light snow and light wind, overcast. NTL & ATL - light snow with strong wind. Heavy wind transport, depositing on N through SE aspects.

Snowpack

New snow was very light and dry, generally well bonded to old snow. Encountered a few pockets of reactive wind slab, but generally very soft slabs. At lower elevations and areas that received the most sun on 2/26, the new snow/old snow interface was the weakest.

Avalanche

No avalanches, but observed some small releases of new snow sitting on rock slabs on E aspects NTL.
