Observations

Quick skin before work. A skiff of new snow down to pass level was a nice surprise. At 3.8k, accumulation overnight might have been as much as ~2cm? Keep expectations for snow-quality low. Clouds in and out at the pass, but looks bluebird above. Calm winds and a quiet morning at 8 am. Skiing was quite loud on refrozen groomers.

Looking across the Pass, no obvious new slides; we'll see if the sunshine moves some snow by this afternoon.

Photo 2: The rain-runnels on Snoqualmie are beginning to smooth out; it sure looks like there's either an old crown or an emerging schrund on the south side of the summit.
