Date of Observation: 01/01/2022
Name: Ian Havlick
Zone: Southeast Mountains
Route Description: Quick tour up Caves Trail in Cement Creek. Descended same route
Observed avalanche activity: No
Weather: Cold, Clearing, light northerly winds
Snowpack: HS 80-150cm, generally good structure but was wary of shady areas that have preserved 3-5mm facets near ground and near associated melt-freeze crust 80-100cm deep. Pretty significant wind transport evidence from previous day, variable re-distribution but generally stripped from southerly facing aspects during storm with northerly winds yesterday undoing that pattern. Dense storm slab, with 20cm ski pen.
