Snow Characteristic Comments: 

Began the tour early morning with air temps at 19 F. Observed lots of SH throughout the tour. I experienced two significant settlements. The first settlement was along the road before the shortcut up to the Laurel Highway. The second settlement was along the upper meadow on the way to Julie's. I was surprised that there snowpack did not have much wind-slab buildup from yesterday's storm.
