<p>Stay tuned.....</p>

Felt it was important to go on a BCC recon mission to look what will be underlaying the forecasted snow.

<p>Currently not much of a problem. Will change with new snow.</p>

Snow profiles very similar to what I saw at Twin Lakes Pass on Monday.

Degraded crust over loose 1-2 mm facets.  Surface snow is weakening.  Ski penetration to the ground in many places.

West and East aspects without the crust are weak to the ground.  I do not think the current snow pack will hold a new load on West through North through East Aspects.  Some of the places typically considered safe may not be if we get the forecasted load.
