- <p>Some localized cracking observed underfoot, likely a result of a thin snowpack on undulating terrain rather than a result of propagation. </p>
A thin, shallow, weak, trap door, faceted snowpack is present in Dry Hollow. All layers observed contain angular grains of one kind or another, and the snowpack does not support much skier weight as a result. Attached are photos of forming depth hoar from the layer at 0-16 on a 2mm grid.
Snowpack
Observed solar slopes have a melt-freeze crust that was refrozen by 1500 hour.
