Weather

Light snow (S1) became showery by 1500. Light winds from North with evidence of variable moderate winds. Cold. No solar effect today.

Snowpack

West winds BTL, and North wind NTL (terrain affected?) moved snow into dense drifts throughout tour. Many rumbling collapses, cracking BTL on E aspects. Cut two monster cornices into north facing slopes above Coon Basin with no result. Triggered small slide on steep gulley wall into terrain trap which looked to pile deep. Failed on 6mm surface hoar with propagation ~50ft.
