HS at 8900' ranged in depth from 40-75cm on northerly aspects. New snow totals amounted to about 6" early this afternoon. Yesterday I dug near Catherine's Pass around 10000' where the HS was 90cm and noted one distinct crust sandwiched between weak snow. Today, digging on a NE aspect at 8900', revealed a shallower snowpack with multiple crusts and much weaker snow between these crusts and at the ground.

- <p>Noticed very localized cracking and collapsing on wind-loaded, NW aspects. Though there was evidence of wind loading, it was subtle and hasn't yet created a reactive slab.</p>
