Up to 6" of recent snow from Friday's storm, and previous drifting from northerly winds. air temp (F): Mild; cloud cover: clear; wind loading: previous; recent snowfall (cm): 15; snow avail for transport: small smounts

Snowpack

Minor, shallow cracking in a crossloaded wind drift facing WNW.

Avalanche

Good views of a lot of terrain - no new persistent slab avalanches from the recent storm. A handful of small wet loose avalanches and a handful of small wind slabs ran in the past few days, mostly on the south side of the compass. We ski triggered a small wet loose that entrained about 5" of wetting snow above the storm interface.
