Calm, clear, and cool up high with valley fog from the inversion has created perfect storm of impressive surface hoar growth in sheltered areas. Midslope breakable wind layer combined with thin pack doesn't help with egress. New snow faceting and buried surface hoar on top of 11/29 rain is showing signs of waking up. As we receive new snow, be aware of what it falls on, potentially through the rest of the season.
