Quick report

No red flags not enough snow to matter but on the downside pretty even coverage at all elevations and a good set up for a weak layer if we go high and dry for much time, [thin snow pack, light density snow, and cold clear nights on the way.] Guess we will have to wait and see.

Photos: thin skin on So Long, wind drifts forming at all elevations, coverage on the south and north

Snowpack

5 to 6 inches of light density snow sitting on dirt and rocks in most places, or a few inches of faceted snow on the high north. The new snow was quickly getting a wind skin and slabbing up in wind exposed terrain and also getting stripped down to the dirt on ridges and terrain features.
