Snowpack
Snowpack was thin, varying from wind scoured to loaded depending upon terrain. This pattern is typical for this area due to its close proximity to Thompson Pass, but the overall mass of the snowpack is lower than normal. Structure and strength were good. ECT test at 3100' showed ECTN16 down 17 cms and ECTN26 down 26 cms . November wind layer still had pencil + hard resistance down 65 cms with small rounds moving toward facets below.
