Weather
Bluebird start to the day gave way to obscured skies and light snowfall (S-1) that did not amount to measurable accumulation.
Snowpack
This area received around 3 feet of snow and 4 inches of SWE in three days. Found a generally right-side up snowpack and good bonding at the new snow/ old snow interface with evidence of rain on snow up to 9,800 feet. Wind-drifting and moderate scouring above treeline on westerly aspects. Natural activity was not widespread, but slides that we did see were very large with visible timber damage and massive debris piles.
