Quick report

The winds were cranking from the north along the ridge line. A small amount of snow was being blown but there is very limited snow for transport. Souths and wests were supportable in the morning hours.

Snowpack

Large column tests had no propagation in the upper snowpack. The upper 15-20cm is faceted snow, Boot Pen was 43cm. I did find a layer of surface hoar over the 1/1 interface but lacked sensitivity. 12/5 was moist and under an impenetrable layer of dense rounds.
