Snowpit Observations
More detailed information about the snowpack: 

Wet, sticky surface snow 2-4 inches deep existed on all aspects up to 9400 in this area today. Ski cuts, hand pits, and general observations showed a mostly stable snowpack with well established drainage channels in it. Some small roller ball activity had occurred on the exposed southerly aspects. I could not tell if these roller balls occurred today or yesterday.
