- Rapid Warming
Alternating cloudy, light snow and sun.
There were probably close to a dozen folks lapping God's Lawnmower this morning, and more starting the tour up as we came into the parking lot to end the day around 2pm.
The only snow concern we noticed was warming on the descent on northeast / east facing slopes down from the ridge that resulted in heavier warming, sluffing snow and rollerballs than we would've guessed given the light sun until late in the afternoon.
The snow on God's Lawnmower was a tad heavy but felt supportable and stable.

- <p>Did not see any concerns due to new snow. On lower elevations, observed a couple inches of new over a crust.</p> <p>We did not see any cracking or other indications of wind slabs. The wind and snow did pick up as we were leaving (2pm ish), so that may be changing.</p>
