Comments
Wicked deep and blower day.
Snowpack at 1900m was 240cm.
Stiff moderate Southwest-ish winds to valley bottom. Quite a bit of wind effect and leeward loading at all elevations except protected slopes. Our tracks in filled in significantly over two hours from storm snow and wind, even in dense trees.
Ice on lakes is still super thin.
