Observation: Porter Fork

Was hoping the powder party was gonna last one more day but it didn't in the terrain covered. Didn't really seem like the snow got much of a refreeze last night due to the lingering cloud deck last night and this morning. As I said before we did find some soft turns but they were limited to a elevation over 9000ft and we only made it to about 9800ft. There might be softer snow up higher but the problem with the high alpine terrain is that it's been getting windjacked from the strong NW winds the last 3 days. Maybe with a couple cold clear nights the high N might recrystallized a bit but the forecast is calling for above freezing temperatures at night the next few days and very warm high daytime temperatures.The clouds kept the NE cool in the morning but I would expect the wet activity to increase tomorrow.
