Comments
Only a 3-5" on PC ridgeline; could see old ski tracks in the Monitors and No Name. Was enough snow and wind to pull out three separate new snow (likely running on repeater facets) size 1-1.5 pockets in upper West Monitor. Photo below.
Skiing conditions quite good with some wind effect in localized terrain. Bottom feeding on southerlies.
Imagine wind and new snow avalanches will mostly settle out overnight. Areas of MODERATE still for old snow avalanches despite no c/c and non-reactive profiles.
