Nitta Peak

Travel was between 1450m and 2650m. Down low was an unsupportive crust to facets which improved quickly with some elevation. Crown lines visible in steep N to E aspects at tree line and alpine. Some wet slides had occurred on steep rocky S aspects in alpine. Visibility decreased with elevation. Lots of wind effect on all aspects in alpine.

CTE on most recent storm snow down 20cm. Other layers identified at 45cm and 70cm down. Bottom 35cm of snowpack was facets. Above the facets was 55cm was very consolidated (possibly old debris). I couldn't get cord to cut through. ECTX on the snow above that layer.
