- <p>High winds were transporting new snow and loading the lee side of the ridge. </p>
New snow seemed to be bonding well despite melt crust from the past few days. Depending on storm totals and aspect I'd expect the danger to be in the moderate to considerable range tomorrow. Be on the lookout for newly formed wind slabs.

New snow was falling with around 3" at the geyser pass parking lot and 6" up higher at 11am. Snow was noticeably dryer with a gain in elevation.
