Observation: Weber Canyon

I got out later in the afternoon today to find over a foot of new snow overnight and throughout the day today for a 2 day total of 16 inches of constant over the head can't see blower powder. Telemarking would have been virtually impossible. Wind loading was minimal however I triggered this small wind skin. I also triggered this very small but very fast running sluff that had enough cohesiveness to it to fracture a dozen feet or so. Near the end of the afternoon, while it was snowing 2cm an hour, the snow turned to graupel. The damage was minimal if not nil however I suspect there are some graupel piles below the steeper slopes which could potential provide a weak density inversion layer as more snow piles up on top..
