Quick report
Very low coverage is challenging travel. Rocks, logs, and bushes are still abundant. The weak layers in the base of the snowpack are showing signs of strengthening or rounding, yet slow. The poor structure may be challenged when a new load is put on it.

Snowpack
Weak faceted, rounding snow at the base of the snowpack showed propagation potential, yet was stubborn and bridged above by thick melt freeze and rain crusts. The crusts are dampening the effect of compression and extended column tests. Propagation saw tests on the facets that formed in November showed propagation still being possible, yet stubborn: 45/100.
