sunny, warm, light breeze out of the north.

Snowpack

Solid. Recent 12" has settled out nicely, filling in all old tracks and bomb holes from control work(Silverton Mountain has been flying the copter here a lot this year). Bomber mid and bottom pack. Wind effected ridges up above 1200 ft were hard struggle and unmovable. Best, resilient snowpack I have ever witnessed up here in January.
