Quick report

The start of the storm today has been light but with more potential Tuesday/Wednesday.  Upper Devils Thumb has been wind stripped of most of the slab we have elsewhere but similar slopes like this (that are steep enough to slide) will have a trigger point between no slab and a wind deposit slab to keep an eye out for.

Snowpack

Mostly thin crust above alder line. Majority of the upper face did not have a developed slab and was quite thin except for the wind deposit gulleys.
