Quick report

Widespread throughout the North Zone is wind scoured snow and bumpy wind board. Very hard to affect anything underneath this, or find favorable surface conditions. We are in need of new snow but this wind board will act as a solid bed surface when the snow first falls.

Snowpack

Widespread in the North Zone just getting a shovel through the knife hard wind board is tough. We found a soft spot and were able to investigate lower where we found an old wind board and crust layer with no propagation.
