<p>I went looking for poor structure or what will become problematic if it snows ever again... SH in isolated locations... NSF in specific locations... one can only hope our next storm comes with some energy to at least knock out one of these...</p>

Snowpack

Mix of snow surfaces today. Mostly what you'd expect. Polars are soft and weakening, solars are sun affected, windward aspects stripped, leeward previously loaded and now reaching a happy equilibrium. Protected and previously loaded high elevation terrain yielded great turns but coverage is still thin (obviously).

Dug a pit NNW 8500' -- linked below.
