Comments

Good day. Felt like winter again. -About 15 cm of recent snow. Lots of snow shedding off of steep alpine faces (back side of Three Sisters). Significant wind and snow transport up high. Snowpack in open terrain was 130 cm at 1900 m. In trees about 120 cm at 1900 m. Alder in avy paths is starting to get covered at this elevation but will take a little more snow.
