Observations

10-20 inches of moderate density snow up on Titus Ridge depending on aspect and wind affect. Winds looked like they blew hard from the Stanley side of the pass during the storm based on the drifting pattern and continued to blow moderately during the day Saturday with light snowfall. We observed isolated cracking and whumping near the steeper section just before first bump on the ridge where there had been some wind affect. And goes without saying, but watch out for sharks...
