Quick report
Looking at the southeast face of Abajo peak. Lots of wind transport and little to no snow.
Wind deposited on Jackson ridge, likely from 12/15 wind event. Snow looked fairly thick along the ridge, perhaps as the trees on the north (right) side acted like a snow fence. Again, little to no snow in the south-facing start zones.
North Creek Pass. Not enough snow to present avalanche hazard, but this thin snowpack is likely faceting and will be a weak layer underneath future snow loads. Some wind loading can be observed in the upper right portion of the slope.

- <p>Northerly winds on 12/15 have stripped northerly aspects near and above treeline and deposited little snow on southerly slopes. </p>
