Quick report

5-8 inches of light snow below 4500' that was relatively well-bonded to the 2/24 crust. We did not get any activity on steeper rollers/skintrack. Below 4500' snowpack began to deepen, between 10-12" of ski penetration. Did not measure HS but telemetry showed 20+" of new snowfall since 2/24. Did not get any slides on steeper roll-overs or natural features in the Phantom Trees. We did not expose ourselves to ATL terrain or large unsupported slopes so can't say what the wind did ATL. NTL and BTL there was no wind effect. Some graupel snow in the storm snow but did not notice any severe interfaces. Noticed a large crown over at Alpental. Did not appear to be explosive-induced as we hadn't heard bombing or seen any other signs of bombing. Looked like a natural that stepped down to the pre-storm crust layer.
