Comments
Found soft, low density snow 1200-1500 m on north and northwest aspects of Gin. Wind affected snow observed just west of Gin peak and rime observed on trees on south side of Gin near peak. Sunny, some slight overcast that preserved snow quality/low density during the morning. Observed wet loose natural release by 2 pm at lower elevations around 1200 m west aspect, with no tree coverage. Snow pack around 1200 m and below became wet and heavy by 2 pm, tree skiing from hanging lake and below was a bit chunky in some areas and not ideal conditions.
