<p>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.</p>
