- <p>Rollers and fresh sluffage on any pitched surface that had any hint of east or west aspect to it.</p>
Pit dug at the top of piece of pie showing two ice layers below the fresh snow with large rot near the ground.
The rollers next to the ski track showing dampness in the new snow on even direct north facing.
Would expect all this to be moot b/c with rapid heating in the forecast all the fresh snow will be baked quickly if it has not already happened.

- <p>Wet sluffs with potental to become larger with more heating.</p> <p>I found two distinct crust layers which could act as a surface for water to run on if the heat wave continues.</p>
Snow depth ranged from 10" to 15". Some areas of slight wind damage. Sad to say that even on direct north facing the snow did become somewhat damp in the afternoon today. There was just not enough wind and or cloud to hold off the sun.
