<p>Rain/snow line at 9:30 was right around 6500, and</p>

Rain/snow line at 9:30 was right around 6500', and at 1:30 was below 5500'. Precip picked up around 9 with light east wind, and by 10 was coming down S2+ (with moderate wind gusting strong from the south). The snow was very wet, but the riding conditions were excellent. Hand shears were very reactive on "sheltered" north facing terrain at two different interfaces - one about 8 cm's down, and another about 25 - seeming like our old/new snow interface and the break last night. One popped out upon isolation and the other two with a very light pull. See attached photo.

Might have seen some large crowns in the backyard area, but didnt have time to get up there to check them out.
