- <p>Very little wind transported snow, but some minor cracking in fresh shallow wind slabs on the north side of the compass.</p>
A nice smooth groomed trail this morning and much welcomed with the hard frozen tracks throughout the area.
Grey skies and a slight increase in the winds as the afternoon went on. No new snow while I was out.
I was only finding some isolated and shallow wind slabs on the exposed ridge lines. These were not connecting yet and did not create any issues where I was today.

- <p>Just some very isolated shallow wind slabs on the ridge lines and these were very small and not real connected. </p> <p>Looks like the forecasted storm for this evening will be quite warm with dense snow. This new snow could become damp and active as the day heats up.</p>
Lots of frozen hard sled tracks, a stout melt freeze crust on the south side of the compass, but still some nice dense creamy snow on high shady north slopes.
