Comments
Overcast to periods of moderate snowfall throughout the afternoon, wind was not much of an issue except on the ridges. Dug a bit at circa 9600' to look at the PWL on the north aspect, it was noticeable but appeared fairly adhesive.
No cracking, collapsing, signs of avalanches over the past day on any aspects. Looking like it may settle a bit tomorrow before the next round this weekend.
