- <p>Over half the snowpack is facet right now with a slab building on top of it. About 45 cm of storm and wind slab over about 70 cm of facets. Not very reactive in stability tests.</p>
Saw a descent amount of blowing snow today.

- <p>The wind slabs are building. Not enough of a load today to seem create a problem.</p> <p>I think the cornices will also start building with the winds.</p>
Couldn't really tell how much new snow had fallen due to the winds. Tried to pick a semi protected area to dig a pit but found the first 24 cm broken up storm particles. Probably a combination of the Jan 3-4 storm and this one. Snow skied well
