Comments
We, and several other groups, dropped quite a few cornices on the west monitor region, with no results. Will's Hill was fairly wind effected up high, but was consolidated off the ridge, with very few signs of instability other than a bit of "new" snow sloughing. Skied another shot in the willows with similar conditions. Both were west to southwest facing. New snow from the storm seemed to be in the 2-10 inch range.
