Weather
Overcast and snowing. Light North winds with stronger gusts in the upper elevations, frigid temps.
Snowpack
Signs of yesterdays winds on the surface- sastrugi and pockets of wind loading primarily on Northerlies. Solar aspects developed a melt freeze crust over the past few clear days, I found it in most areas hit by sun and quite robust on lower angle slopes. Some of the paths that had natural activity in the last cycle had flushed the new snow, sliding on the same problematic crust.
