Skiing quick laps from Sentry Lodge... significant snow transport from the SW/W overnight, calm morning then light winds from NE/N... heavily overcasting to S2 for later afternoon (according to the storm hat accumulation) as well as 15-20cm overnight. Alpine not visible, but wind lip and cornice build up at TL made us very wary of heading that way.
Snowpack
Opted for quick laps in the same zone as yesterday. Storm snow seems to be bonding and settling nicely to previous surface in protected areas at TL and BTL. No eyes on alpine due to cloud cover. Ski cuts had no results, and no obvious natural failures. Calling it 4/3/2 for tomorrow, moderate confidence for alpine with no other observations from immediate area, and no visual.
