- <p>Previous winds have loaded generally E facing slopes. Attached is a photo of wind deposited snow lee of a bush on an exposed ridge at 10,000', as well as a small cornice that came loose on an E face at 10,000'. The current snow surface, however, remains smooth and pristine. </p>
Despite the recent round of storms, travels in Mill Hollow revealed a weak snowpack, with difficult riding and turning conditions as a result of the unsupportability of the snowpack. The strongest layer observed is a MF crust (@24cm in the attached snowpit). On more solar aspects, this crust was stronger.
