OVC>BKN, max temp. 7/-8 deg. WSW 20 G 30's. HST/W: 6.0/0.50
Snowpack
Cold temps and moderate winds pasted in the new 6". Could still feel the bottom in most places but ski quality has definitely improved. Shallow reactive wind slabs in EBM specific to cross loaded features. Wind slabs were very stubborn NTL on W aspects only observed cracking 4-6" deep. New snow bonded well to roughed up surfaces. Very weak structure under variable crusts definitely still a concern if the weekend Fx hits the high end.
Avalanche
Several very small nondestructive wind slabs on cross loaded features 4-6" deep NTL.
