Lizard Head Pass NE Slope ~10,300ft

Snowpack

About what I expected for the snowpack in this area. Lots of recent snow on top of a persistent weak layer near the ground. There is lots of evidence of wind loading with wind coming from the SW this morning. Otherwise, there were no obvious signs of instabilities. Lizard Head Pass NE Slope ~10,300ft

Avalanche

While driving up to Lizard Head Pass there were signs of small recent avalanches along the road. Likely from the storm the last 2 days.
