Comments
I haven't dug around in the 10000' range for a while now and I was quite pleased with what I found today. The new snow is stable and the older snow from Thanksgiving is looking quite good. I do not see any significant weak layers anywhere in the snowpack at this time.
There was much less avalanche activity from during the storm than I would have anticipated. Actually, I saw no significant avalanches from the storm at all. There was widespread cornice falls but they did not trigger any serious avalanches once they hit the slopes below.
