Snowpack

New snow is bonding well with very little slab quality. Over the past few days the area has picked up over a foot of snow. The new snow is sitting on a firm surface. New snow should signs of stuffing on steep slopes, but it didn't go full path. No Wet Loose avalanche issues observed today.
