Weather

Snow very heavy at times. 0.75" HNW measured in 20" HN. West winds seemed to increase as the afternoon wore on.

Snowpack

Widespread loose snow activity in the new snow to the edge of the highway. Some of the loose snow activity took all the new snow sliding on a MF layer, but most was within the new snow. Ski tests showed very minor cracking and harmless loose snow release.
