Snowpack
last storm has settled to 10 cm, settlement cones everywhere, but did not add much body to the existing snowpack. We elected to use established up track Steve, Craig, and the boys broke last Wednesday to ascend the lower parts of Electric Lake area, but sandboxed our way to the top of the bowl around 9500' to check out steeper terrain and snow. Total snow at 9500' was 70 cm, 60 cm at Miller Flats snow stake. Skiing entire snowpack much as Steve described on Wednesday, and never found anything worthy of lapping. Weak snowpack structure is the rule, any old windcrusts have deteriorated and its a moshpit.
