Snowpack

Very firm in the trees, used crampons for part of the approach. Creek drainages were deep with a limited number of options for passing through. Boot top pen deep on S facing slope around 12p. Little to no snow on steeper faces. Scree fields showing on solar aspects. Trees had deep wells and cup like rings around them. Any spots with sun exposure were soft to ski.
