Snow Characteristics Comments

Mid week storm delivered a nice coat of white paint. Low-ish angle terrain skied well, while steeper terrain was sluggish and inverted, punching into lifeless NSF which has no body or rebound.

Cracking lacked energy or snap, rather it's a portent of things to come once we start stacking some water on this snowpack.

Collapsing

Red Flags Comments

Cracking and subtle collapses, but the storm snow has hardly any energy. However, it's resting above the Jan drought layer which is about as weak as weak snow can get.
