Quick report

Beautiful day at Hurricane Ridge with a fresh layer of new snow covering the bare ground or melt forms resulting from last weeks atmospheric river event. A few adventurous folks were skiing and riding in areas of deeper coverage but most were enjoying the sun and keeping it mellow with the shallow coverage. Rollerballs were releasing from rocky areas in the afternoon on southern slopes and surface hoar 2-3mm was observed in isolated northern aspects.
