25 cm new snow, -8.0, snowing lightly, moderate gusting southwest winds.

60 - 75 cm recent storm snow overlies the December 16 melt freeze crust. Strong west winds overnight, extensive wind effect all open areas. Up to 140 cm storm overlies the Dec 1 surface hoar in sheltered terrain treeline and below, and isolated sun crust on steep SW asp. November 21 melt freeze crust is down 120-160 cm. Recent storm cycles have filled things in nicely.
