Skied both W and S Monitor today, they had about 9 to 10 inches of new light density snow from yesterday resting on a non frozen and pliable crust. The only activity noted was shallow wind slabs right off the top of the ridge that would run quite a distance but packed little punch. The S facing was damp by 12:00AM and all other aspects, even the due north were becoming damp by 1:30pm. The moderate strength winds from due N combined with the heating of the surface snow does not bode well for good skiing tomorrow, there might be a small window, but if the clouds stick around tonight limiting the drying out of the snow pack. and the wind continues to blow from the N in the moderate category, might be slim pickings tomorrow.
