Overcast. Light wind. A few snowflakes.

Snowpack

Recent warm temperature and northerly wind did a number to the snow surface. A mix bag of crusts, surface slabs, and pockets of dry snow observed. Some of the surface slabs were reactive to ski pressure and would crack around skis, but relatively harmless. The snow remains driest on very protected northerly slopes. The snow surfaces is weakening and many of these surfaces will be issues when buried, but not at this time.
