The gate is now down on SR35 but the road is snowpacked and accessible by 4WD or snow machine. Mid and lower elevation snowpack is still very thin. Upper elevation terrain depths averaged about 2.5 feet of total snow.

I feel there is a considerable danger on slopes steeper than 30° on the north half of the compass as well as on east aspects. My risk tolerance is low with this kind of setup, so I'm going to play it safe and continue to be aware of slope angles and keep them below 30°. While I think the snowpack has adjusted slightly to the new water weight, all signs point to a weak snowpack just waiting for a trigger. I'll also be keeping my eye on the old snow/new snow interface with future storms.
