Weather

High clouds moving in from NNW. Upper elev winds looked very strong, but unlike yesterday/ 11/17, no wind transport visible at ridgelines. HS 20 cm at 9000', N-facing road cut.

Snowpack

Highly variable snow depths. Many slopes near/ above treeline visibly scoured and cross-loaded from westerly winds. Gullies and sheltered slopes near 11,000 feet looked to have thickest, most continguous snowpack.

Avalanche

Saw no recent avie activity apart from previously reported slide on Chair Pk.
