- <p>Snowpack structure was poor with harder (finger hardness) snow over weaker snow. Not currently a problem avalanche wise and depending on new snow and wind loading will be worth watching as future storms arrive. Previous wind loading noted. In some north facing aspects we noted evidence of old avalanches where there was a thin wind slab on top of weaker faceted snow. We also noted places where avalanche debris was still a couple feet off the snow surface on the uphill sides of the trees. </p>
Snowpit on a southeast facing aspect at 8560'. Slope angle was 35 degrees

Snowpack
A trace of new snow overnight. Snow surface was damp with greenhousing and rollerballs on steeper solar aspects isolated to the new snow. The dirt layer was present on leeward aspects under the wind slab and on windward aspects the dirt layer was visbile on the surface.
