Activity
Skiing

We observed snow being moved by wind out of the SW on the very top of lick creek meadow, as well as evidence of previous wind loading at the top of the NE facing side. We didn't get any whumphing or cracking in the spots we skied over.

We also noticed surface hoar in open areas in the approach and a sun crust on the SW facing slope.
