• 30cm + of new snow, or significant drifting, or rain in the last 48 hours.

Interesting wind effect over in the Zymacord on Sunday. Ripping winds Wed/Thurs created a series of hard horizontal dunes throughout the alpine terrain. They were covered with ~30cms of new low density snow but made for less than ideal skiing.

Steady winds at ridgetop were loading north aspects but aside from some small (0.5) slabs in steep terrain, there were no new avalanches.

Notably, at some point recently, presumably during the peak winds last Wed/Thurs, the east face to the north of Zymbuk 1/2 ripped to the ground.
