Snowpack
No direct snowpack obs, as the nearest snow was at 5,500ft. Continuous snow was generally above 6,000ft. A few areas held more snow down to 5,500ft.
The existing snow surfaces are textured and look well-transformed from copious rain in the past week. Any features, such as drifts, avalanches, or debris, have aged significantly since being formed.
Avalanche
Older wet loose avalanches from Dec 9-11th. 5,500-7,000ft, most aspects. Mostly D1-1.5. Some larger debris to D2.
