Moderate SW'ly winds on the ridge were enough to entrain and transport some surface snow. However, windslab formation was very isolated, slabs were soft (4F), and not reactive to ski travel. Most surface snow in the area was unconsolidated, in some cases with a thin (<1cm) surface wind skin.

The top 150 feet of the SE path was scoured with variable ski quality, however below this the snow was largely unaffected by today's wind and skied well. No tracks were visible from previous days.

Around 2pm the base of the clouds descended, and snowfall began at a rate of S-1.
