Weather
Intermittent snow on the highway. Temperatures measured on the truck in the low 20's. Very little snow moving around at pass level.
Snowpack
Path's are staring to refill, but as of this point the new snow is not enough to be an issue. Blue Point has sluffed 2 times over the last two days putting just about a foot on snow on center-line. This is partly due to the ditch being full. The Brooklyn and Eagle group have a significant amount of snow, but brief periods of sun help the new snow to settle. We can expect a small shed cycle once the sun pops, but most snow that hit the road will just cross the white line.
Avalanche
Few small loose new snow avalanches observed today off steep rocky slopes at lower elevations.
