New zone, very different snowpack conditions

<p>~120 cm of snow sudden plannar release on 3 wrist taps about 20 cm below surface. Popped on a hoar layer. Also noticed shooting cracks while skinning in the trees to about the same depth. Had another sudden release at 8 taps from the elbow about 35 cm below surface. Popped on an other hoar layer. No results below these two layers. Overall the snowpack here was ever different than White Pass. Thin, dry, full of hoar layers.</p>
