Weather

Broken sky, very light rain and snow, moderate to strong NW winds blowing snow at all elevations.

Snowpack

Snowing S1 in the morning then lessening by mid day. Hard to say how much new as yesterdays graupel and todays new snow was being blown all over the place. The thin rain crust that was reported yesterday, was not as widespread in the area. However it did start raining again by 1pm, vary light but still rain! The rain would change to snow then back again, all afternoon.

Avalanche

Following avalanches were all old, around Feb 10th. 1 SS-N R1-D2 in the coneys area and a few other D1's up valley on the same NE aspect. All near and below tree line. Not much visibility to see other areas.
