Cloudy morning with on and off light snow clearing around noon, scattered sky coverage and intermittent sunshine.

Snowpack

Almost an inch of new snow in town in Marble and about 3 to 4 inches of new snow above 11,000 feet on Mount Justice. The new snow was well-bonded to the old snow surface with little to no sluffing even on 40+ degree slopes. Aside from some lightly patterned snow just below the Justice ridgeline, there was almost no evidence of any wind-transported snow in this area. Occasional moderate gusts did not visibly transport any of the new snow either. The crust underneath the new snow was fully refrozen until below 11,000 feet after noon, when the new snow settled and the old crusts started to soften up as the sun came out.
