Quick report
Went to the Monitors expecting a little more snow from the SW flow from yesterday's impulse, but only noted a few inches of new. The strong winds from the last couple days have smoothed out the slopes with dry snow and provided not bad skiing. The S facing was frozen until the sun broke out for real around 1:30 pm then it soften quickly and provided some corn like supportable conditions in the afternoon. The high ridge lines have been scoured by the SW winds and the steep N facing had small and isolated windslabs right off the top but pretty minor. Wet activity seemed to be mostly kept in check by the wind keeping the surface cool.

Snowpack
There was maybe 3 inches of new snow from yesterday which might be a little generous, a mixture of graupel and dense snow. The snow was still dry on the N facing with either a melt-freeze crust or damp on the S facing depending on time of day.
