<p>Numerous audible collapses noted mostly in the mid elevation band- seemed to happen less so as we increased elevation. No natural avalanche activity noted. </p>

Snowpack

New snow had a density change part way through storm with a layer of lighter snow mid-storm with some graupel noted. The wind was definitely transporting snow, but drifts were staying soft, and protected areas were deep. It seemed like a lot of snow was being deposited near ridgelines and down into the mid elevation band.
