Weather Comments
Party of one broke up track on Scottie's. Snow seemed mostly stable some sloughing on the corner tracks. There seemed about 10" of light on top of what appeared was settled snow. But could punch pole down through the layers to what must be the original old layer. Mostly stable on line down, some sloughing in the gully and on stepper faces.
