<p>Sluffs on steeper slopes did not have much energy. Multiple avalanches that appeared to be from the wet rain/snow cycle earlier in the week. New snow accumulated on the bed surfaces of these avalanches. </p>

Debris pile from a slide that most likely occurred after the wet rain/snow cycle earier in the week. Covered by snow from the last storm.

High winds out of the northwest on Ben Lomond Peak.

Snowpack

Light, new snow bonded well with the previous rain crust.  On steeper slopes it was difficult to hold an edge.  Skied some bed surfaces and slide paths.  Some wind affected snow with soft slabs along the ridge lines.
