Quick report
- Cracking
- isolated
Relatively little wind transport of new snow; new snow 20-25cm over the rain crust, fairly consistent across all aspects. New snow appears to bonding well with the crust, but there is reactivity within the new snow layers - stubborn shearing occurring 15cm down (ECTN 3 @15cm down). Below rain crust on the Dec20 crust/facet layer, compression test results @18 about 60cm down. Facets in bottom 28cm but likely due to location on talus slope. Cracking underfoot in isolated locations, but was not propagating. No signs of recent avalanches

Snowpack
130 cm deep on W aspect, minimal windloading. ~25 cm of new snow from Feb 3-4 on top of Jan 26-27 rain crust. The formerly rain-saturated snowpack has now frozen again with the cooler temperatures over the past few days. Rain crusts ~10 cm thick, with rounds/faceting rounds below. Former crusts breaking down but still identifiable, including the Dec 20 crust and accompanying facet layer.
