Weather

Periods of moderate to strong winds from the West. Light to moderate snow during the afternoon hours.

Snowpack

Unsupportable 60-70cm in the areas below Oh Boy. I saw some small avalanches on the road cut that looked like they were at the new / old snow interface. I dug a test pit and saw many layers as seen in the photo. The new snow / old snow interface had very large facets.

Avalanche

Micro slabs above the road cut. Very shallow. See photo.
