Quick report
I decided to utilize a road to try to access mid-elevations to take a look at the recent storm snow and get a feel for conditions.
Below roughly 3300 feet, the snowpack is very thin and was either ice or firm crusty snow. Travel was difficult and it made for a character-building descent back to the car.
Between roughly 3300 and 3700 conditions start to transition toward winterlike. It's still thin. Coverage is not sufficient to leave the road for skiing or snowmobiling. The snow surface started to become softer.
Above 3700 feet, conditions are much more winterlike. There was little sign of freezing rain from Saturday, the snow was soft, and the trees were much snowier.
The meadow at 4250' had a height of snow averaging 85cm and my pit location at 4400 was over a meter at 111cm.
I didn't have time to fight through the Christmas trees and get much higher, but I had a few nice powder turns on my descent along the side of the uptrack.
Lots of bushes, trees, rocks, open creeks. Surface hoar was present in most open areas in the middle elevation band.
No signs of instability were observed apart from snow shedding from trees and rocks, creating a few rollerballs.Weather
Mostly sunny skies with low and mid-level clouds at times. Minimal wind experienced
Snowpack
Digging at 4400' on a NW aspect, I found 111cm of snow and a snowpack that is generally right-side-up, lacking major layers of concern. There was 20 cm of soft snow from this past storm sitting atop a 5cm melt-freeze crust (the 12/7 interface). Compression and extended column tests both yielded no results.
Avalanche
No new avalanches were observed.
