SnowpackDani/Alex Perrot/Dierker · Dec 17, 2016 · Front Range
Weather
From 8-11 AM, intermittent fog but mostly clear and cold. Wind above treeline approximately 10 mph, with notable wind loading and transport on east and north facing slopes (skin track above treeline on south side of Camel Humps had nearly completely refilled within 20 minutes).
Snowpack
2 whoomphs heard while skinning just above road below Camel Humps area, and another large (spooky) whoomph heard while skinning through the trees below (what I think is called) Bowl 1. New snow was not much affected by the wind below ~11,400, but above that, new snow was much more wind-affected and gaining stiffness (layer approx 6-8 inches). New snow depth below road approx 4-8 in, new snow depth above road approx 6-10 inches.
