Observations

Skied inbounds, so weather and photos only today.

Snow at daybreak turned to rain by 9am at pass-level, snow continued somewhere above 4k for the time that we were there. Skiing was predictably heavy but fun. Sunbreaks flickered over the east side of the pass at mid-day, with a return to light rain by 2pm.

Friends reported at least two control-work shots west of Central, which may have been control work above Rockdale (see photos).
