General Observations

Lutak Zone: Observed 1-3mm surface hoar in sheltered areas below treeline around 2500′. Clear calm cold weather 11/15 – 11/16 was likely when it grew before a strong north wind picked up 11/17. Near and above treeline conditions were wind packed powder over a thin melt freeze crust. Sasturgi had formed on scoured slopes and lee-ward aspects were actively loading.
