Quick report

This storm is dropping snow in the middle of the range and higher elevations. I'm keeping an eye out for high winds/loaded area and I'm giving the snowpack time to settle before going into avalanche terrain.

Snowpack

This added snow to the snowpack will need time to adjust and bond. New snow combined with older soft snow could move on the wind crust as a base layer, especially if wind loaded.
