Description of Snow, Weather, and Avalanche Conditions:

We woke up to light snow flurries and cloudy skies. Camp was on a subtle NE slope and was burried by new snow accumulation and wind loading for a depth of 6-8". We hiked from Scotts Lake to Big Meadow and found accumulation to be uniform with occasional wind scoured SW slopes that were exposed.
