Quick report

The next two days (Thursday Friday) storm slab is the main concern, and as that new snow bounds we will likely shift to a wind slab problem (if wind forecasts are correct).

We finally got some new snow! If you get out to enjoy it stay safe and submit and observation to let us know how it's reacting around the range!

It was tough to see into upper elevations but we suspect a few storm slabs on the west side of Phelan Creek.

Before the new snow we had strong winds yesterday that looks like it knocked down most surface hoar (still possible in pockets) but we didn't see any signs of it.
