Snowpack

Snowpack: Little change from Zach's observation in the same area on 12/7. 5" new snow overnight in protected areas, was only around 2-3" on most open slopes. That 2-3" didn't change anything in these areas and wasn't cracking or showing much for signs of instability. A few very soft, very small, phone book slabs around at best. This new snow was sitting on wind-board and crusts buried on 11/7.
