Comments
For the shady slopes facing the north half of the compass, this is a good looking Uinta snowpack. In general, it's well-behaved and homogenous and we're not dealing with our usual weak snow issues near the ground. My snow crystal card is at the interface of this weeks cold snow which turned loose and sugary and now preserved and buried under Thursday night's storm. This layer is something we'll need to keep on eye on.
Recent winds have stripped upper elevation slopes facing the south half of the compass and they remain thin and brushy with low avalanche danger.
