Comments
Touchy new snow and more of it than I expected. Kicked off a small slab in the steep terrain adjacent to sundial ice. Baby slab in the low density new snow. We saw multiple point releases and small slab releases. All d1s but a good tease at what's to come if we get a substantial load.
Comments
S2 precip from 9 to noon. About 7 inches of new low density snow above lake Blanche. We saw blowing snow off dromedary and o'sullivan once the clouds lifted around 4. Lovely evening.
