General Observations
Skied up to the new weather station, and confirmed the snow reading was correct, over 64 inches of snow has already accumulated at 5000ft! The snow had been heavily affected by wind out of the north, but southern wind protected faces had pockets of deep soft snow. We saw several small avalanches on the steepest of these southern faces, probably wind or storm slab.
