- <p>The 18 inches on top of the ridge will be easly transported if we get a wind event, and wind loading will be the next hazard. In most places it appears that the hazard will be in the new snow as the older snow has helped to remove most of the risk from the facets from early in the year. I check a shallow area on the ridge top and even there the snow was getting stronger. Still be wary of rocky areas and the brush fields at higher elevations. We now have a thick layer of new snow at lower elevations with the same concern.</p>
Thirty five CM at Millers flat with a total of 110 CM
Snow knee deep on the up track, of light blower pow. Could get turns on slopes of 34 degrees, no collapsing or cracking

- <p>Could get loose snow or soft slab avalanches on the steep Northeast through North west slopes.</p>
Snow was lightest I have seen in a number of years. The wind had started to drift and form soft cornices, They would break under the ski only. Up on the ridges could only find the thinnest of wind skin on the surface. The new snow has bonded to the older layer, the first few inches of new snow was denser than the rest of the new snow.
