3 to 4 inches of new snow as of 2 pm at 10,900 feet. Light south winds with no transport at ridge top.

Snowpack

North and northeast aspects of this area have a little more than a foot of snow on the ground. The weak basal facets are capped with a soft crust and about 8 inches of soft snow above. No avalanche problems were present Friday afternoon, but there is a similarly poor structure like the rest of the forecast zone on northerly slopes. There is enough coverage across this terrain to cause problems once more snowfall accumulates above.
