Observations
Terrain: Narada Falls to Reflection Lake to Castle Saddle. W-N-NE 4500-6150'.
Avalanches: We only saw a few small loose wet avalanches that occurred today. Other older loose wet and loose dry were noticed from the past few days.
Snowpack: 10" (25cm) of settled dry snow over the 3/5 on N aspects. The snow was well bonded to the 3/5 layer. Slopes receiving more direct sunshine formed moist to wet snow 4-6" (10-15cm) deep. We did not look at any of the layers deeper than the 3/5 crust today. Lots of wind affect above 6000'.
