Today was different in that the ridgetop winds had subsided to nothing at 7900 feet. Still cold in the drainages early in the morning. Very pleasant in the sun. Warmest day of late.

Snow Characteristics Comments
Recrystalized loud powder on east and north facing slopes at and below 7900 feet. Less sloughing today, but was not on super steep slopes. Snow with southerly aspects more damp than it has been recently, felt wet enough in places today to initiate push-alanches on steep slopes for the first time recently.
Comments
Excellent riding on east facing Bobcat Bowl.
