Quick report

Drove up to the pass around noon. Power-flurries much of the afternoon, water dripping from most roofs even with the snowfall. Ventured outside for a sunbreak at 4pm. Snow surfaces look almost unnaturally smooth throughout the Pass area. The few ski tracks visible are suggestive of good skiing at upper elevations.

Avalanche

Looking around the pass at around 4pm, the primary visible slides appeared to be loose-dry. See photo of Rampart Ridge, in particular.
