Snowpack

30" in start zones for Switchback chutes and at lower stake. Snowpack ~ 40cm of decomposing fragments over ~36 cm of facets. All 4F to F hard.Very thin snow cover in east and south paths. 149.5 filled in as was notch mountain. I suspect watertanks and eagle may be harboring more snow on east flanks of gullies. Difficult to see from the road. Still insufficient volume to affect roadway.

Avalanche

One small sluff from Swtichback 2, stopped in upper net.
