- <p>Due to the low snow the pack is rotting from the ground up. Did find a cm layer of buried surface hoar under the new snow, the warm temp's before the storm did not destroy all of the faceted snow on this north slope.</p>
This shows what a low snow pack we have on the Skyline, the next picture shows upper Ephraim canyon and the snow loading on the small bowls.

- <p>Did see the creation of some wind loading upper slopes above bluebell. As the wind increase after the passage of the next front and the loading of these steeper bowls over the weak snow could be enough to trigger some slides. These slopes are being tested by some riders as the only areas with a deeper snow pack.</p>
New snow was a medium density, no evidence of wind transport of new snow
