New snow Sierra Nevada! We couldn’t get all the way to Refugio Forestal La Pluca, as the road was affected by snow. Walked up Las Alegas.  Up to 1ft new powder, no base. Bad weather  high so aborted attempt on  Los Machos. Came down  steep slopes near Cebollar Refugio and down to Rio Chico.  Wind blown powder drifts up to 2ft at times. New snow down to 1600 below Puente Palo. Seems  localised as other areas the snow level is  higher.

Photo shows Meredydd, Shameela and Sam in the upper Rio Chico at about 2000m
