Skied the south east glades above the lake. About 40cm of powder made for great skiing.

Temperature around 0 at the parking lot at 11am and had dropped to -6 by 1:30pm at 2050m. Flurries throughout the day with no significant accumulation.
Snowpack
Very thin weak layers at 30 and 50cm deep, both less than 1cm. Compression test failed on the layer 50cm deep. November crust was 70cm deep, 2cm thick and had 10cm of facets above it. Snowpack felt supportive and didn't encounter any evidence of wind slabs in the glades we skied up to 2250m.
