Copper

Winds from Saturday/Sunday storm did a good bit of work in this area, building stiff drifts in many exposed locations and eroding down to 12/6 layer in others. I got some cracking and collapsing associated with these slabs. The presence of weak snow near the base of the snowpack continues to drive 

As observed elsewhere, the current snow surface is a beautiful mess. Things are particularly weak and complex at lower and the low end of middle elevations. Here, the effects of both inverted temperatures and warm temps/rain during storms are present. Find a stack of crusts with intercalated facets, some stray SH (wilted), all on a stack of well-developed FCsf with a crust underneath. With very light, sputtery precip interspersed with periods of drought ongoing, expect this surface/package to continue to develop and change.
