- Heavy Snowfall, Wind Loading, Cracking
Ran into a girl on my ski out who was trying to call friends and about to make a shelter because she had run up to lake blanche not expecting heavy/blowing snow conditions. Gave her an extra jacket, and got her moving. I guess the lesson learned is to stop for the people who may not know what the weather expected for the day was, and make sure they're alright on a trail packed enough one can walk it in just sneakers.

- <p>Snow was coming in heavy and with a good deal of wind. New snow was sensitive and easy to release in steep terrain</p> <p>There were a lot of winds swirling around near the Sundial today, and wind slabs in the mid to upper elevations will be a primary concern as well tomorrow. </p>
Saw a bit of everything on the way in, and on the way out everything was under a nice coat of 4 inches or so down to Lake Blanche.
