Weather

Stormy! S1-S3 Temps in the 20's West/Southwest winds 20-30mph. Lots of transport and drifting.

Snowpack

This morning, with the warm temps, the recent snow was heavy and dense. "upside down" snowpack. Graupel at times. As the day progressed it seemed that the snowfall was getting less dense and colder. The density change could be an issue in the storm snow. Wind slabs developing ATL. Minor cracking NTL and ATL.

Avalanche

Four cutbanks along US40 slid.
