Comments

20cms new on solar aspects. 30cms new on lee aspects from previous storms SW'er.

Temps -8 at start of day then -4 during day. Some WS on N aspects making for tricky skinning. SW winds moderate to strong in alpine so we backed off. Storm snow sluffed easily on solar aspects. Had cohesion on NE slopes but also sluffed easily.
