Snowpack Summary

Up to 25cm of new snow, with very strong winds lee slopes would have much more snow possibly up to 1m. 20-100cm overlying the Dec 8th facet crust interface. Wide spreed wind affect in Alpine in to open tree line features. Caution for reverse loading with the strong North winds. Found soft to hard slabs.
