Weather

Few clouds and no precip with WNW winds increasing from light to moderate and gusting strong. There was moderate blowing snow.

Snowpack

HS ranged from 35cm to 70cm in 4 different pit locations. Compression tests produced repeatable Q1 results where wind had deposited a more cohesive layer of the recent storm snow over weak faceted and depth hoar layers.
