Weather

Windy with light snow in the am with temps in the high teens. Steady wind subsided by midday with the sun popping out for a peek by days end. Temps warmed to low 30's.

Snowpack

HS was observed to be 120cm with random probing throughout the day and slightly deeper on the N aspect. SP had hollow feel (especially on SE) with probing confirming weak snow at the base. Some local settlements were observed throughout the day breaking trail through untracked snow. Test slope produced small results with moderate to hard force to produce R4-D1 slide that ran 60 feet.
