new storm snow has settled to about 45cm, seems to be bonding well to the rain soaked mid pack. calm winds and low visibility all day. several hand shears throughout the day with no or very resistant results. most steep terrain shed a few days ago leaving lots of debris in the run outs. new storm snow is covering most debris but still makes for chunky skiing. humid conditions and snowing very lightly most of the day, freezing level didn't seem to get as high as was forecast
