- Poor Snowpack Structure
Our tour took us through a whole host of issues. Shallow snowpack, poor snow structure, and some solid wind loading. Be cautious with any new load. Every step we took was similar to walking in knee deep sand. That never changed for the duration of our tour. We climbed to 10000' on a North, Northeast face. Anything below 9000' was basically walking through dead and downed trees.

- <p>All snow we traveled through was unsupportive and faceted. Snow depth was shallow below 9000'. The higher we ascended the better the coverage but still lacked in a supportive structure.. I see this being the major problem from here on.</p>
