Quick report
After yesterday's snow storm about 30 cm of new snow have been falling in the Bridger Range. The snow is partially wind affected and we observed wind loading in certain areas. As the snow fell on dirt and the snowpack is still very shallow, rocks and other obstacles might be hidden and are our greates concern.

We started with sunshine and a few clouds, which lifted throughout our trip. The temperatures were pretty cold (6-10 F) and felt even colder, when there was no sun and/or wind. We observed blowing snow on the ridge, and light to moderately blowing wind in the mid elevations from the south west.
Snowpack
The snowpack in general is very shallow (~30-40 cm) mostly all new snow from yesterday. In wind exposed areas, a thin wind skin has been formed (1cm). Rocks and other hidden obstacles are the main concern.
