Went to check out the Fuzzy Knob. We found 20-30 cm of recent storm snow that had settled significantly but was still skiing well. No moist snow or any sort of crusts found on the surface. In general really good coverage for this time of year over there.

There was evidence of a natural cycle that occured yesterday during the storm. It seemed to be most reactive above 1400 m and there was numerous size 1-1.5 storm slabs 20-40 cms deep that released on most steep convexities and unsupported areas. No reactivity to skier traffic on steep rollers today.

The valley fog was thick down low and towards the end of the day it started to snow and the winds picked up to moderate from the NE.
