Prominent rime zipper crust on exposed snow surfaces, dense and settled soft snow in protected treed areas. Digging on an E facing slope at 9500', found 84cm of decently right side up snow, 4F facets ~20cm from the ground being the only hint of persistent weakness at this site. However, only ECTX and CT23 and CT26 Q3 PC at this layer.
