Quick report

On Mean Peak we noticed cornice build up on the Northern facing slope with a South to North wind. At Lost Canon we observed built up snow drifts in the Northeastern facing chutes. The top layer in Summit Meadows was a thin layer of ice, the fresh snowfall from the day prior had already blown off. We had no issues getting around on our snowmobiles. The base layer was hard pack with roughly 6 inches of softer powder on top of it. Our tracks dug through the softer powder then had good traction once it hit the hard pack.
