Weather & Snow Characteristics
Please provide details to help us determine the weather and snowpack during the time this observation took place.
Weather

24 degrees at the car, Lightly snowing, calm winds and overcast skies.

Snow surface

The warmer temps had definitely consolidated the new snow making it ski like a soft cream cheese. We topped out at 2000' right where we were beginning to feel some wind effects from the night before just subtly below the new dusting.

Snowpack

Dug 4 pits at 2000' on a NW aspect, 20 degree slope with HS ranging from 170-190. No notable results, same poor structure of facets over Halloween crust with a tiny stellar layer about 35 down. See snowpit profile.
