Comments

High snowpack variability from wind effect within aspects and elevation made generalizing data challenging. Shelterd areas preserved small light soft powder which changed into heavy dense wind deposited mid run. Ridgelines scoured and hardpacked. -20C all day, windy. Nice skiing treeline and below.
