Weather

Cold temperatures, single digit. Mostly light W wind but some stronger gusts. Clear sky. A fair bit of active loading from winds and storm snow.

Snowpack

HS averaged around 2m. Storm snow not settling much. Wind affected areas showing lots of etching and sculpting from the wind. Soft slabs are forming in all lee areas to W wind. Found two reactive PWL within top 80 cm's of the snow surface.
