<p>As noted above, on north facing slopes, the snow was entirely faceted. South aspects were snow free. East facing below Twin Lakes Pass also was holding snow (see photos below).</p>

Went on a short walk to look at snow cover around Brighton. Not much snow but likely enough to be problematic when it does snow. Snow was mostly small facets (photo is on 3mm grid).

Snowpack

Total snow depth was maybe 6" on shady aspects around say 9400 feet.  It looked like marginally more above that elevation.  At the parking lot, there was just a dusting.  In some places the snow had a thin wind skin but generally the snow was entirely faceted.
