Quick report

Collapsing
isolated

Rain crust disappeared quickly right around 2,000' as others have observed and noted. Large surface hoar on entire snow surface 3-4mm existed up until 1,800' and pockets of surface hoar still present up to 2,000'. Field team on Summit got a significant collapse while breaking trail on their tour up and a few other 'whumpfs.' Many naturals at all aspects clearly visible in Summit area that likely occurred during or just after atmospheric river storm event.
