Quick report
The focus today was to map the snow surface prior to a series of upcoming storms. On all but south and southeast aspects, the existing snow surface is incredibly weak with faceted snow and surface hoar. I was finding preserved faceted snow at the ridgetops along the Ogden Skyline, and unless winds destroy this weak layer (which it doesn't seem will happen), we can expect a persistent weak layer from ridgetops to valley bottoms. In many places, the top 5-10 cms of weak snow is sitting on top of a stout crust which will act as a perfect bed surface.
Above 8,000', HS (height of snow) is about a meter on northerly aspects, with a strong, supportable slab.

Widespread weak snow on aspects other than due south (which are crusted).
