We did not see any in our travels other than minor cracking around skis.</p> <p> HS at 8500' NE was 190-200cm. THIS is a lot of snow for this elevation in Mill Creek. November facets are rounding and trending 4F+.... and buried 150cm.</p> <p>Looking for any possible mid-pack PWL and found no evidence of this. </p>
