- <p>Cracking in the new snow for some wind drifts and in the trees.</p>
Blustery and popular. First photo is of the "Western" half of USA Bowl. Pretty sparse (sorry if the image is all crooked; Windows and the iPhone are not cooperating). The second is of the "Eastern" half with blowing snow and winds which made transitions a touch unpleasant.
Cracking in the trees.

- <p>Cracking observed in new snow.</p>
Likely all new snow for the terrain. Winds didn't let us stick around too long. Snow supported skiing but a few roots and looped branches made their claims during the descent.
