Quartz

<p>Widespread recent natural cycle visible under a dusting of new snow. Sheltered areas at treeline are unconsolidated blower and deep enough to be very jealous of long track machines. Wind affected areas closer to ridge top had a character building, upside down feeling, 30-60cm slab that was 4 finger on the surface to fist lower down on N and NE aspects. No signs of human triggered activity today but people weren't really hanging it out there either. Was gonna dig a pit for the forecasters but the stuck counter got so high it broke and motivation to do superfluous digging quickly diminished. The AvCan crew shouldn't be too heart broken over having to do field obs right now though. Low end of Moderate SW winds through the day kept moving snow at ridge top until the next sloppy mouth kiss from god started rolling in as we were leaving. </p>
