Snowpack

HS 48” Snow surfaces started cold and moistened with intense solar. Minor wind transport on Scarp Ridge. Lower elevation slopes saw some rollerballs, and on steeper, south facing slopes, snow seemed to be on the verge of pushalanches where the snow fell on slick suncrust, but everything stayed put. PWLs remain dormant, but slopes were never tested today.
