Weather

Windy all day constant 10-20mph with gust closer to 40, kept things cold. still plenty of snow available for transport both in the valley bottom and at higher elevations.

Snowpack

HS 140-160cm, CTM failing 20cm from top and well at 50cm from top, RP. Large facets/depth hoar bottom 20cm to ground. Ski cut the steep gully near summer trail and got a small R2 D1.5 slide. Did not step down or propagate much and seemed to run only on the recent storm snow.
