Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p>The new snow was about 17 cm deep, fairly dense, probably a decent load on top of some of the week layers. </p> <p>Still have to worry about the multiple rotting layers in the pack.</p>

Very complex snow pack on the south facing slopes in gaurdsman.  Had a couple crusts existing, 2 were 14 cm apart with F-4F facets existing between.  This layer had a SC on CT6.  The 2 crusts were 4cm thick.  I think the first crust might be a rain crust from last week?? Also noticed a 1.2 C gradient between 14-24cm.
