<p>Snow is stable but plagued by layers of very weak faceted snow and crumbly crusts.</p>

A thin pit wall back-lit by the sun. The harder crust layers are darker and the very weak layers of faceted snow allow more light to pass

Snowpack

Sticky skins and breakable crust with bottomless sugary snow made uphill travel difficult.. Rather impossible sand boxing in places for Otto the dog
