About 6" of settled storm snow below treeline, and about 12" above treeline in the most sheltered terrain I could find. Most of that snow was redistributed by westerly winds yesterday and last night. cloud cover: few; wind loading: previous; recent snowfall (cm): 15 to 30; snow avail for transport: small smounts
Snowpack
I produced cracking across small test features in the recently drifted snow.
Avalanche
A couple of new large persistent slabs on wind-loaded slopes of Peeler and Owen, and dozens of D1-D1.5 wind slabs on leeward terrain in the Ruby Range. I ski triggered a small wind slab.
