Snowpit Observations
More detailed information about the snowpack: 

Found a myriad of snow conditions east of Marias Pass today including great corn, sticky hot pow and rotten snow on all aspects. Essentially had no snow movement from skiing, but we didn't ski anything over 35 degrees. We did witness a couple nature cornice failures and their subsequent debris. High clouds, windy and above freezing all day. Started raining at low elevations by 7 pm.
