Quick report

Overcasts skies in the morning. Sun started to poke out by 12:30. Moderate to High winds was moving the newly fallen snow around. With the wind blowing and moving snow around it was hard to guess how much actually fell I would guess 1-2”. Wind was starting to form 1”-4” wind slabs in places. Skiing was not very good there is a thick crust on the surface where there is not new blown snow. The crust is on all aspects. Sometimes you could stay on top other times you would all of sudden break through. Snow while I was out did not soften on solar aspects.
