Snowpack
Snow surfaces were wet and heavy until about 5500ft, where they started getting lighter. New snow was upside down- wetter and heavier in the top 15cm (4F) and lighter and drier near the start of the storm (F, 10cm). Storm instabilities were found beneath the harder snow.
A thin crust was present beneath the new storm layer from the previous day's morning sunlight. Overall, aside from the surface layers, the snowpack was right side up and well bonded all the way down to the deeper crusts by the 12/22 Solstice Crust. Snow was well bonded to that crust too.
