Comments
Overall bone chilling starts. Evidence of north and north east wind transport on exposed upper elevation terrain features. Not much scouring, just loading in certain lee slopes facing NW. Clear weather and remaining air mass likely leading to wide spread faceting in near term. Lots of traffic across upper LCC but no observed avalanche activity. Upper elevation HS North = 1-2ft, South 12-18"
