Snowpack

Travelled a range of surfaces. Mostly wind-affected old surfaces in unsheltered terrain. Tucked away, plenty of soft snow still exists...

Encountered some wind loading in Isolated, ridgetop locations, seeming to be in the Stubborn range of things. Anecdotally -- spongy, cakey feeling.

Dug a pit in sheltered NW trees to check out what SH may have been buried / preserved below this most recent storm -- see below.
