Snowpit Observations
More detailed information about the snowpack: 

Warm and calm conditions on Ophir Peak.  Snowpack looks consistent with many other areas around the forecast region with the upper snowpack mostly consisting of crusts and near surface facets.  Snowpack is ski supportive with adequate coverage until below 8400' where coverage gets thin with more obstacles.
