Quick Observation

The E aspect of East Peak near big white had wind loaded snow, with snow depth up to 125cm in some spots and near 0cm over a number of large rocks (which we skied over!). 10 cm of recent snow on top. snow density was consistent from 10cm below the top to 50cm above the ground, where at 50cm above the ground it feels like grains of sugar in your hand and is much easier to push in with a finger. Jason did a compression test, on 7th hit from the elbow, the whole block of snow broke off as one piece. This is my first MIN report - sorry if it's not super detailed or professional.
