Quick Observation

A conservative skin through the trees mid-storm. Observations taken from 10:30am until noon, snowing 1-2cm per hour, light to moderate winds, no natural activity seen. Small steep unsupported slopes in the trees would barely sluff. Parking lot had ~20cm of moist snow, top of Hollyburn had 40cm. Ski quality was dense popcorn at the top to smooth cream cheese near the bottom.... classic north shore storm skiing.

Snowpack

40cm of rightside up snow on top of wet slurpee. Compression test moderate, broken at the interface with the slurpee.
