Weather

HN/W; 7.5"/0.75". Overcast cast skies and strong Nerly winds in the AM. Skies began to clear and temps warmed significantly as the morning progressed.

Snowpack

Strong Nerly winds scoured exposed Nerly aspects at TL. New snow fell on a hard old snow surface and bond to the old snow surface is questionable. Ski tests on very steep N aspects below TL produced several long running LDAScD1. Observed a LWUD1.5 on a S aspect that could have been triggered by two Bighorn Sheep (a little far away to know for sure).
