<p>Infilling of skin and ski tracks on north facing slopes overnight by wind transport.</p>

Geyser Pass road is very polished and there are numerous "bomb craters" from vehicles going off the road over the weekend. Avalanche danger may be low/moderate, but the road is getting into the considerable rating... Watch out when descending the gauntlet of road activity on weekend afternoons!

Instability Comment
<p>Not really a problem on south facing terrain, but increasing on north facing terrain.</p>

Substantial effects from wind and sun between Saturday (12/3) and Monday (12/5). Areas at treeline that were skiable on Saturday were down to grass by Monday. Up to 1 cm thick sun crusts below treeline.
