Dec 25(Wed)

Another repeat, colder valleys, milder high ground, calm conditions. A nice Christmas travel day.

Bittinger 2nw Valley

This is an area, that holds cold for the east flow ice events, and west enough to do well on upslope events. Also a sheltered valley that holds cold well. Evident by the temps and remaining snow(lots of pics below)that gave a white Christmas to this area. At 9am, a 3″ hardpack remained.

While not widespread across the region, it did exist. The snowfall analysis map did a very good job in showing those areas
