Light snow and fog on Palmer Creek Road. Old avalanche from Halloween layer at mile 5 is not passable with 30 feet of debris and a vertical snow/Ice wall 20′ high. Was not able to find a route past.
Some sluffing in non wind affected areas. In wind affected areas cracking and slight whumphing on wind slab (slab on road was 6-8″ thick in isolated areas). See pictures of older avalanche that have impacted road mile 4-5.
