Quick report

specific

Started to see good snow at 6000. Observe a lot of wind loading and an avalanche that was set off by a snowmobile. Ended up dropping into the trees for the day and found good snow. Stayed in the 20s for most of the day. Wind blew up until around noon even down in the trees. Sun was out for majority of the day but no solar radiation was observed.
