Lakes Ridge

<p>0C at the parking lot at 9am. Depth of storm snow varied from 30cm to 50cm+ higher up. Snow got very heavy with warming during the day. No real signs of instability except on some small convexities and steeper slopes near trees. Snow that did move was only moderately cohesive. The alder on Lakes Ridge is horrible right now and most of the way up and down was a struggle. Be warned.</p>
