Weather: Thankfully there was no wind yesterday or overnight. A steady, moderate to heavy snowfall with 21″ new, 17″ of which came from sunset to what passes as sunrise. Total water content was 1.27″ which comes to a very light 6% water- easily the driest snowfall of the winter. The snowpack is at winter’s deepest of 65½”. Currently obscured and snowing moderately with no temperature movement from a high of 19F to the current and low of 18F. Wind is 1-2 SW. I heard a slide run while outside in the hour it took to get around and clear everything. Looks like i will not ski the peak of Gothic today. It was that or a cup of tea- you do the math. billy
