Quick report
Not much to report from below treeline. Conditions were very calm in the shelter of the trees. There was just enough light fluffy snow on top for some pretty decent skiing.

Very calm westerly winds with light snowfall that started to ease up in the early afternoon. Visibility was mostly poor, but it improved right before my descent and was able to get a glimpse of the upper mountain.
Snowpack
West facing aspect had 6" of low density snow sitting on top of a series of crusts and higher density snow. Total snow depth was 130cm. Top crust layer was penetrable by skis. Did a compression test just for funzies and had a collapse on top of a crust layer 30cm down at CT22. Open meadows and leeward slopes generally had more snow, ranging from 8-12"
