Weather

1-3" new snow overnight. Wind-transported snow drifted into Wednesday's tracks. Snow plumes from westerly winds on Mt. Sopris in morning, and gusty for first hour or so of skin up, with winds seeming to back to the south. Then winds near treeline pretty much died. Some southerly winds up high throwing plumes off ridges. Skies cleared during the day, with back edge of clouds nearing by mid-afternoon.

Snowpack

On aspects and elevations we skied, consolidated and supportable, w no obvious/ widespread weak layers.

Avalanche

Saw no crowns or debris, but possible any mid-storm slides drifted in.
