- <p>Wind and snow were clearly happening, but wasn't out long enough to start to see their effects. Still a whole bunch of facets in the basement.</p>
HS110 - 130cm 8500-9000ft in this zone. On NNW slope just shy of 9000ft found 70cm of mostly right side up snow: F new snow on top of 4F, a smidge of softer, down to 1F/1F+. Below this sat 40cm of facets, F+/4F; gaining some strength. ECTX, nothing happened with bonus taps, and shovel shearing behind the column had no effect until the whole thing fell over at the ground.
Snowpack
Rain/snow line between 7000-7500ft. A bit of graupel, but most stellars/rimed stellars. Picked up about 4-6" of fresh on top of a wind affected, sun affected, and/or firmer old surface.
