Observer Comments
Weather
Blubird, calm wind
~40F at 11:00am
51F at 4:00pm
Snow surface
~1-2" frozen crust in the morning, would support skier weight
7-Eleven slushy in the afternoon around 1800 ft.
Great ski quality from 3200' to 2000'.
Snowpack
Above 2000' 4-6" of pretty dry snow on top of a 2" crust.
Ran the probe down a few times in common bowl. Could feel a second crust at about 2', snow pack felt very consolidated past that. Never hit the ground at 10+ feet.
