- <p>Nearly two feet of new snow from Wednesday & Thursday plus more earlier in the week. Snow was low density and not slab like which helped.</p>

- <p>The quick pit below was dug close to the ridge that divides Upper Days and Main Days and is not generally representative. The snow here is likely thinner than in the center of either run. I chose this location because it was adjacent to a small slide (~ 25ft x 50ft) triggered the prior day from the uptrack. Compression tests produced results on the denser wind slab from the wind event last week. I didn't look at starting area so it wasn't 100% clear to me if this was a factor in this slide or if it was on the interface from this storm and the christmas eve storm. Forgot to take a picture.</p>
Great low density powder. There were a few slightly denser drifts on the ridges but in general the snow had little wind affect.
