Quick report

Cracking
isolated

There is still some hope of good skiing and riding this weekend, but again you need to find spots that weren't wind swept. With the areas of soft snow high winds still are able to move snow, and this week's winds did scour some of the front hills. Until more snow falls the biggest piece of concern are Ridgeline and wind lips with new wind slabs on top of pencil hard board.

Some ridge tops or wind lips have reactive new wind slabs on them.

A chilly day with the sun fighting to break through, some trace snow early this morning that moved north mid morning

Snowpack

The snow in summit is either hard windpack or scoured spots and a thick wind board or basins with still soft snow on top of our snowpack. The Ridgeline are where things get interesting, we found one spot of new wind slab sitting on top of the old wind board that was very reactive. This was small right now but keep an eye out if it grows from precipitation or wind transport.
