Quick report
We headed up tenderfoot's standard up track. At the turn off, there was 27 cm of snow on the ground at 1330 feet. We encountered a solid rain crust to 1500 ft, and surface snow was visible above this. We dug a pit at 2200 feet on a sheltered W aspect. We found below the new ice crust a layer of very well preserved surface hoar. The crust broke on isolation on all of our tests, as it was difficult to isolate the columns. CT 14 on surface hoar, ECTN, PST 55/100 on the surface hoar layer, the pit was over all moist aside from the ice layer on the ground. The surface hoar was not as present on the upper ridge in hand pits. We encountered a rain crust of varying hardness with 5-7 inches of new snow on top of the crust at 3000ft. The snowpack at 3000 feet was dry, unable to consolidate snow in hand. Ski quality was poor, and hazardous breakable crust below 2000 feet.
