Weather

Overcast, Light Snowfall with Moderate winds from the west south west, gusted to strong winds periodically. Moderate snow transport. Temps were mild when the wind calmed on rare occasion.

Snowpack

~6 inches of snow, little hard to get a reliable measurement with the snow transport. Leeward test slopes had some cracking when I looked for it. Not widespread. New snow was very supportable to skis when skinning and skiing down, never really felt the underlying hardpack when making turns. ~4in ski pen.
