Weather

Winds moving snow at ridgelines and peaks by mid-morning. Continued through late afternoon. Not mixing much below ridges. Blowing snow seemed to be mostly fine-grained facets; not really forming drifts except in most concave, catchers-mitt features. Mild temps.

Snowpack

Facet sandbox. Very little structure.

Avalanche

Some old debris at base of easterly slopes above Buckeye Lake. With wind-drifting, no way to guess on age.
