Quick report
Approx 20-25cm of new snow in the Twin Lakes area. I drove in storm starting on 3/12 evening and had my fingers crossed for low angle but good coverage. It was mid 20s F (-6C) overnight and windy. The sky coverage went from blue to cloudy multiple times. Parked at the South Twin winter trail system staging area, proceeded through the campground and worked my way up along the n-facing slope along the south side of s twin lake, generally heading in the tamarack creek direction, up to about 7800 ft. I started my walk at ~1230 pm (30F) and returned by 315 pm(34F). During this time the temps rose and the sun was causing the new snow to quickly become more dense. In general there was enough snow coverage to not hit rocks but still kind of air off shrubs and make for some poles-out-on-the-way-down splitboarding. The wind was blowing up the slope I was walking up (so from the north/northeast), and lots of snow was available for transport, lots of mini wind features. I specifically chose to steer clear from avalanche terrain as I was just coming back from a trip to Washington and had no idea what to expect concerning the recent story of the snowpack. Although I avoided avalanche terrain entirely, seems like dry loose would be a problem at higher elevations on north facing aspects. I was causing lots of sloughing of new snow. Somehow I did not hit a single rock. It was a great exercise, more fun on the way down than I was expecting, and I'll be excited to come back to this spot when there's more coverage and I have more time. As I was leaving, the storm returned to more white out conditions again, and the temps dropped to 26.
