Sunny, light southwest breeze, mild temps, pleasant day.

Snowpack

Below treeline, I found a height of snow between 40-90cm and noticed settlement cones on southeast facing aspects at this elevation. Extended column tests on southeast facing aspect at 10,000ft all propagated easily on facet layers sitting underneath a P hard slab. I also found a decomposing melt freeze crust/ facet combination that unfortunately I've also been finding back in the Front Range on southeast aspects.
