Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p>Soft slab/Storm Slab with contributing factor of Wind Loading from previous day still reactive. </p> <p>Loose Wet a minor issue at elevations traveled. Yet most likely more an issue after exiting and at lower elevations. </p>

Very light density snow fell at the end of the event overnight. Yesterday's 7 inches had a cap of 2% feathers.  By 0945 ENE and E aspects got damp. Very good riding in areas with dry snow. Solar continued to damage despite thickening cloud cover. No wind damage at start of the day even on peaks.
