new snow fell the last few days at the portal (1066 m) on the east side of
Hudson Bay Mountain. The snow turned wet. However, it was still -1 degree at
1500 m at noon. The winds were strong from the south. There was wind
transport, but not enough volume to form large avalanches. There will be
smaller pockets - easily big enough to be trouble for skiers. At treeline,
the new snow did not slab, but only sluffed on ski-cutting steep terrain.
