Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p>Poor snowpack structure still exists in upper elevation north facing terrain. </p>

Travel today was a mixed bag. Sheltered polars are still holding soft snow, most exposed terrain has a grabby wind crust and solars have a m/f crust. Covered was better than expected overall.
