Quick report

Went out to check out Treasury, where the most storm totals were. Paradise divide totals- 4.72 Inches Treasury Mountain - 8.26 Inches We went to look at how the snow was settling up high. Before the storm there was a melt freeze crust of about 8 cm thick. This layer was pencil hard and, there was Facets just underneath it ranging from 1-2 mm in size.

Bomb proof melt-freeze crust layer, about 8 CM thick and fresh stellars, dendrites made the snow quite loose, making for some reactive yet harmless dry loose soft slab avalanches.
