The Current Event came in very dense and bonded well to the old snow surface. After the initial 1 to 2 inches it Graupeled for at least 2 to 3 inches, and then the New Snow Lightened up significantly allowing for excellent riding conditions on Moderate to Low Angled Slopes. In the Steeper Terrain, you were still riding on the bottom in many locations. Regardless, the dense snow provided great riding as long as you were avoiding the old frozen avalanche debris chunks. The Winds in the afternoon were stripping Windward Areas leaving Wind Crusts and Sastrugi; and also building dense slabs that were up to at least a foot deep in many locations. Below 9300 feet, the Snow Surface became damp/wet on all aspects. Snowfall during the day was intermittent and averaged S-1 Rates for the day with total daytime Snowfall in the 2 to 3 inch range. Of Note, the overall heat retained in the Snowpack from the previous warm days is still venting in many locations, and especially on Low Angled Terrain this heat was being trapped in the Snowpack due to the Cloud Cover. As a result, the Lower 5 inches of the New Snow at the Interface was damp. Hopefully the forecast overnight Cold Temperatures will help the Snowpack dry out. All that said, Saturday should offer excellent riding in the Upper Elevations at least for the Morning hours before the Temperatures Spike.
