Skiing in the trees and in meadow skipping was great fun as long as you didn't get into the wind scoured junk.

Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p>No failures in our stability tests. No signs of woomphing or collapsing. It's hard to see the monsters in the basement unless you look...or have been keeping up with things.</p> <p>The newly deposited snow on yesterday's crust (15cm down) was weak in the CT and ECT but showed little energy (no propagation) </p>

New snow amount not observed. However, 'new drifted' snow was between 0-12" on top of yesterday's rain crust.
