Observations
Good refreeze early AM gave way to 2-4c temps and warming snow (hot pow) on NTL north and chalky, cold snow ATL on north. A few cornice failures had occurred at 6600' on windward aspects and the mid-January crust was detectable with a pole at 70-80cm in north facing start zones 6550'. Good corn low north and HS is all time from the road right now in most treed and north-facing terrain. Snow is going fast on steep and low south.
