- <p>Digging around the Camp Steiner area today the snow pack continues to grow weak. The weak sugary snow would just fall out of the pit as I was digging. The few crusts that are buried have become less supportive and the snow pack has lost some integrity. </p>
1. About 3-5" of snow overnight softened the riding conditions on the highway, but not much else. 2. Some folks are still choosing to use the wheeled vehicle to get around.
A few photos of the thin conditions around the Bald Mtn. and Camp Steiner areas.

- <p>The new snow was a welcome site this morning, but it did little to improve the bleak conditions out there and did not change the overall avalanche hazard. </p>
Few inches of snow from yesterday freshened things up, but far from improving the riding and turning conditions. Also, little change in the avalanche hazard.
