Quick report
Snowpit #1 at 8700’ N/NE aspect. Approx 12 inches total depth.
Snowpit #2 at 9000’, North aspect, in shallow, wind affected gully. Approx 15 inches deep. Pit from left side of first photo.
Arrows on 2nd photo indicate sugary facets pouring out of the snowpack under the wind crust.
I included these photos to show the general aspects and elevations that are retaining snow. First two photos are of mountains near Mt. Ogden. First is from Northeast side. Second is from West (Ogden) side.
The third photo shows the distinct snow/dirt line that is parallel with the shadow line.
Last photo is of snow-free south facing terrain near James Peak.
