Snowpack

No obvious signs of instability during ski testing (N-NE-E near and below TL). NE winds overnight moved new snow onto Serly aspects near TL. No evidence that this created any avalanche problems.

Avalanche

Observed shallow, harmless storm slabs and cracking along Shady Lane (E, bTL, aka S Curve Banks in atlas). Probably a product of wind loading overnight.
