<p>Snow pack is slowly getting stonger. The near surface facets in the top 10 inches of snow will be the next problem. </p>

Snowpack

We were skiing on the 10 inches of snow from the last storm. In sheltered North slope snow was loose faceted snow. More exposed areas had the start of denser wind packed snow. The snow was variable some areas sinking in a few inches other areas the snow was faceted to the ground in sheltered areas. Snow pit on an ECT broke out at the ground on old snow at a 3 Q3. Snow depth was 90 CM. Elevation 9000 feet on a NE slope.
