- <p>PWL seems quiet at this time with no results in snowpit tests or recently reported avalanches. </p> <p>Surface hoar noted last week seems to have compressed into adjacent layers and is less sensitive in shovel tilt tests.</p>
Rain crust sandwich with adjacent facets produced ECTN. As noted in other observations surface snow is faceting and weak on north aspects, which will be a concern when/if it snows. We noted about 25 cms of settlement between the storms about more than a week ago and today.

- <p>Pretty decent travel above 8500 but below that to about 7000 feet snow is very thin. The most significant hazard in these areas might be sticks and rocks.</p>
Mix of snow conditions. North and west slopes stayed soft even with a little sun. South aspects were getting damp by about noon.
