Still good skiing to be had for the next few days. If you are venturing into the alpine, keep an eye out for windslabs in open areas.
Wind slabs are present in open areas at Treeline and in the Alpine. The Alpine looks freshly loaded in lee and cross-loaded terrain.
Chilly temperatures again for tomorrow, but it looks like later in the week we'll dip well into the cold range. -17 to start the day tomorrow with a daytime high of -11. Friday morning could be as cold as -26. Mostly cloudy skies with a few flurries, but no significant accumulation. Light to moderate winds from the west all day tomorrow.
Nothing new today.
The recent 50cm storm snow is showing evidence of a soft slab in some areas of tree line producing some hard test results on a density change 60cm down in the snowpack. The DEC 1, Nov 15 and Nov 5 crusts were easily found in a snow profile in the Commonwealth area at 2150m. Some faceting has started near the Dec 1 crust. In the alpine, expect more soft slabs at the surface, especially along ridge crests and cross loaded features. Take the time to dig and look at the upper snowpack.
