<p>There appeared to be some shallow activity off the high ridgelines. Without being close my assumption would be lee side wind loading. </p>

Overall a nice day to be out. Skiing conditions were good. We skied a southwest facing line with 5" on top of the old smooth melt surface. The new snow felt very stable and was becoming damp from the sun. I would not have been surprised to see roller ball activity a little later in the day and the new snow depth increased as we descended to lower more sheltered areas protected from the high winds during the storm.

Around 4 or 5 inches of new low density snow overnight adding to the storm total. By noon the sun was changing the exposed areas and surface was becoming damp
