Quick report

New snow finally came right as our wind board was softening up. Not enough snow to create a widespread program but if the wind moved snow as it was falling the re frozen crust layer will act as a slick bed surface. Be careful around deep steeper pockets like this.

We got about 3-4 inches in the last day or so from this storm, some snow is still lightly falling with moderate winds up high.

Snowpack

The new snow is sitting on the refrozen crust (what was our wind board that started to melt early this week) this crust will act as a slick bed surface to the new snow.

Avalanche

We had a handful of wet avalanche earlier in the week with warm temperatures on southern aspects
