Weather

Weather: Blowy and snowy. Quite pleasant in the trees though except the one tree bomb on my melon.

Snowpack

Snowpack: Dense but fun and sprongy skiing in terrain no steeper than 30-degrees. Snow was fairly well protected in the trees only densified (is that even a word? It is now) by the wind, warm temps and littered with pine needles. Ski pen 8-10?. Did skin up above road on SW aspect across small, steeper pitch. Ski pen much deeper and got a sizable collapse but did not see any shooting cracks in the ground blizzard.

Avalanche

Observed avalanche activity: Yes Avalanches: Nothing new from ones already documented.
