Weather
Very warm for late December. No inversion even in West Brush Creek - odd in it of itself.
Snowpack
2 to 3+ foot deep snowpack. Generally borderline supportive. Ski penetration 10cm in most areas, though shallow spots ski pen sank a deeper. Boot penetration was to ground most everywhere. No collapsing or cracking despite even on sustained time on slopes 40+ degrees in steepness. ECTP 20 on basal Depth Hoar on 40 degree east-facing sheltered and shady slope where HS was 115cm.
Avalanche
One fresh Loose Wet avalanche off Teocalli Mtn.
