Comments

Below TL, 10-15 cm of heavy new snow bonded poorly to crust beneath and would slough on convexities. TL and above 15-20 cm of excellent quality snow with evidence of wind transport (but no compaction/crust) near ridges. This new snow was bonded well to lower layers on N aspects with no results from ski cutting. Size 1 avalanche observed on ESE aspect in new storm snow, probably from Friday the 22.
