Observation: Yellow Pine

Went out to explore some lower elevations in the Unitas today. Stayed below 8000 feet all day. Dug quick pits to the ground several times on various aspects NW- N-NE avg snow depth was 60cm with the majority of the snow pack being faceted snow. I did find a 1/4 inch thick crust 30cm down on the N and NE aspects. Found a few good turns on a sheltered NE aspect between 7700-7200. At this elevation stumps, rock, etc are still play
