Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p>Pronounced facets above and below the early season rain crust. Might take a while for this white dragon to be gone.</p> <p>Still today, we witness a lot of snow being moved around on the higher peaks in the Wasatch.</p>

On solar affected aspects (SE-S-SW) there was a thin melt-freeze crust from yesterdays sunshine. On all other aspects low density powder can still be found. In shaded and sheltered trees surface hoar was found around 8000-9000ft.
