- <p>Almost anything behaves like a slab over very weak old snow on polars</p>
P1: Wx pattern of the day... scattered showers and a clearing regime (16:00)
P2: Quick Pit with obvious weak snow (some VERY weak) below PPs
P3: Percolation column formation 93cm - 75cm through a layer of facets
P4: Cover for deeper parts of the zone, S aspects still very thin as elevation decreases
P5: Riding conditions
Snowpack
Elevation dependent storm dropped 14 inches at highest elevations (9000') but tapers sharply to storm totals around 6 inches near 8000'. New snow is not particularly well bonded at the interface though much less touchy than yesterday. I was unable to locate the mid-storm graupel from other obs but did find a weak crust in the upper snowpack that could have come from similar moisture pattern at lower elevation / milder part of the range. Overall good riding conditions and access is greatly improved, though still obviously thin.
