Weather

Cold, windy, and cloudy.

Snowpack

Southwest winds were drifting snow that was loaded on south slopes yesterday, and redepositing it on east and north slopes today. Deepest pockets of wind-drifted snow were around 30 cm and those pockets were observed on the ridgelines. The snow surface was stiffening and a 7-10 cm 1 finger surface slab was developing. In general the snowpack remains thin and there are very few places were you could actually recreate on snow. Grass was observed on many slopes.

Avalanche

No avalanche activity observed today.
