- <p>I did get one collapse in the flats around the snotel site (8000 ft NE aspect) it was in the new old snow interface maybe a melt freeze crust do not know if the rime effected us on cutler ridge. </p>
Also Had an ECTX in the same pit. The new snow seemed to have been pretty stuck in place except for a few sluffs.
Winds around 8200 ft on Cutler Ridge.

- <p>Was not able to get the new snow to move except for some sluffing on the old melt freeze crust on the trail cuts around 6000 ft.</p> <p>With the wind picking up this afternoon and into the night there may be some new wind drifts on exposed ridges.</p>
New snow was prob around 6-8 percent. There was some wind effected areas I am guessing there will be more wind effect tomorrow the wind did not pick up untill around 12:30 on cutler ridge above the snowtel site. New snow was around 25cm when I headed down.
