Snowpack

The 65 cm snowpack on this windward aspect is best described as a "Rockies Clubhouse Sandwich." CTE3 collapse on depth hoar below a tripple decker of sun and rain crusts. Surface facets remaining cold despite solar exposure over past few days. Kept it mellow on perfectly planar grassy slopes around 20 degrees. This area is difficult to access right now due to the minimal low elevation snowpack. (30 - 50 cm)
