Comments
About 16" of med density snow with fairly uniform hardness except for the bottom inch, where a 4F+ layer. Observed some graupel mixed with new precipitation particles. Fairly sheltered compared to higher elevations.
Northerly winds looked to be moving snow all day, but didn't get into the wind zone to check for wind slab. Fairly dense supportive snow with some nice turns. Northerly aspects near treeline didn't appear to have old weak snow under this recent storm snow.
