Weather
S1-2 all morning. Light to calm winds in AM, picking up to Moderate and variable, though generally W.
Snowpack
12-17" HN over the last 20 hours. New snow is sitting on firm crusts from E to S and thin cover on W. North aspects have a light crust below storm snow from the last 2 events. N facing slopes still have weak (F to 4F) DH at ground, though it is generally about 1.3m deep BTL and NTL. Most test slopes over 30 degrees would crack under skis (only new snow), especially if wind effected. Excellent ski conditions on low angle terrain.
Avalanche
None observed. No vis for ATL Due to new load travel was all in low angle terrain with no overhead hazard.
