- <p>The winds were generally light and well behaved, but just enough to move some light density snow around on the exposed ridge lines. Some tired wind slabs that would just crack after stomping on them. Up higher on Murdock Peak, it looked like winds were gusty and I could see more snow being blown around. Before the clouds moved in I observed some long running dry surface sluffs on the east side of Bald Mt. and on Murdock Peak. </p>
Looks like I did not read the weather forecast very well today and ended up being in the clouds, while down canyon it was partly sunny. I was pretty jazzed to see so much snow in this area and should make for a nice long spring season in the high country.

- <p>Minor wind issues today, but would suspect sensitive wind drifts tomorrow with forecasted snow and wind.</p>
Nice settled powder conditions around the Bald Mt. Pass area, but lots of tracks from a busy weekend.
