Quick report

Small amount of snow, but wanted to get a sense of the character of this snow before more piles on top of it. There was on average 30-40 cm of new snow overnight. In areas where snow was deposited with wind that are prone to landslides (loose steep rocks), lots of rollers let go when I traversed the rocky sections.
