Skies varied between mostly clear to partly sunny to overcast at Lick Creek Summit past 3 days. Temps staying below freezing, with little solar radiation affecting the snowpack except some slight warming on S-face slopes down around 6000'-6500'. Mostly light winds with some S-SW moderate winds overnight to morning of Sunday Jan 11. This was slightly moving and creating thin soft wind slab in isolated terrain such as ridge tops and saddles of ridges above 7000' (as seen in snowpit profile).
