Weather
@10k: overcast skies and snowing heavily, S2 in the AM, tapering to light, S-1 in the PM. Moderate W winds and blowing snow. Temps in the 20's. Above treeline elevations were obscured for most of the day, but appeared to have strong W winds with intense blowing snow.
Snowpack
@10k: 10-20cm of new snow, depending on aspect and loading. Appeared to be bonding well to old surfaces. In wind-loaded areas isolated windslabs, 4F, were developing and moderately reactive to ski cuts- initiating but not running far. I'd suspect these windslabs to be more widespread and reactive at above TL elevations.
