Snowpack
Melt freeze crust that formed 12/16 was apparent with 10cms of dry snow on top up to 2000'.
Above that a right side up snowpack was observed without concerning structural issues. Ski pen 20 cms.
At 2700' dug a pit in a place where the snowpack was thin, 100 cms vs 150-165 cms in surrounding areas.. Structure was fair-good with moist facets on the ground (could make a snowball with snow at the ground). No significant results in stability tests.
