Quick report

Went to the Swan to see how Northerly aspects were holding up:

  • The top 2" of snow has transitioned to moist on NW-N-E up to 6900 feet (upper extent of my travels).
  • Below this depth the snowpack remains dry.
  • Rollerballs and pinwheels ran naturally in rocky terrain or where trees were shedding snow.  They were easy to trigger on steep slopes.
  • Did not see any recent Loose Wet avalanches in the immediate area.  
  • Skinning was gloppy and skiing was sticky.
