Snodgrass TH area

Quick check in on the low elevation, shallow zone. No slab avalanche concerns, plenty of weak layers. The surface hoar is now buried intact a few cm deep, and the remainder of the snowpack is ~2mm facets and depth hoar (3 to 6mm on old bed surfaces). Facet sluffs were very shallow because most of the steep terrain flushed last month, leaving less than 20 cm of snow on the ground.  If you find a steep slope that didn't flush last month, you could get more snow moving - about 45 cm.
