Observations

Snow showers at the 1 Road Lower Sno-Park in the morning. Shallow snow cover up to about 4000' where depths increased. Above 4000' found 6-7" of new, fairly dry snow. Our route was entirely on roads and sheltered, only signs of wind were on two somewhat exposed ridgetops at about 4300', where could see wind scour and drifts and surface texturing. No wind while touring today, lots of snow still on the trees.

Some brief blue skies overhead but no views were had. Snow showers in the morning (0800-1100) then a few in the afternoon. Snowbowl hut thermometer read 37 at 12:30pm.
