Weather

Scattered clouds, mild temps, and brisk NNE winds. Some wind transport observed, but high density new snow was not very transportable.

Snowpack

24 hr snowfall amounts over the last several days have added up to about 12" HS, but the net gain in HS is more like 4-5". We were able to push a little new snow downhill (not enough to be called an avalanche) in an isolated steep location, it appeared that the bond to the old snow surface was mostly good. The bond may worsen as temps continue to warm.
