Weather: Obscured Sky. Snowing mostly S1. About 2-3″ accumulation between 11am and 3pm. Some gusty down valley winds but we were mostly protected by some trees.
Snowpack: Was only on sub 30 degree low angle terrain in the valley bottom. About 6″ of new snow accumulation since Thursday. Hand pits showed the top couple inches of new snow moving onto of Thursdays snow and not on the old snow/faceted interface..
