Date
Activity
Skiing
Winds blowing hard from the N/NE, 30-40 mph gusts. Graupel falling at start of storm and accumulating fast. Left car at 9am with zero accumulation and returned to 4 inches by 2pm (11/2/22). North facing aspects within the basin had little to no snow left over from the previous storm as slopes were heavily wind scoured. East facing aspects at higher elevations had the most substantial base. Wind loading was observed in large, isolated drifts on top of the Love Chutes and at the rim of Frazier Basin. Snowpack was about 2 feet deep in these drifts with little connection to slopes below.
