Upper elevation terrain is pretty wind jacked... Drifting still going on, snow moving along the ground like migrating sand dunes.

- <p>I could not affect the rock-hard drifts</p> <p>Snow is much weaker where generally shallow.. Widespread and very weak near surface facets noted in sheltered terrain in upper snowpack. Danger is likely to increase with accumulating snow in the next few days.</p>
Wind jacked snow in terrain exposed to south wind. Nice fast and smooth re-crystallized powder-like snow in more sheltered areas.
