- <p>shallow snowpack and high pressure systems are never a good mix. snowpack on northerly aspects above 8000' is a mix of facets and buried melt freeze crusts. no results from ECT tests, but with a precipitation and winds in the forecast it will be interesting to see how the snowpack reacts to the added weight.</p>
snow profile. north aspect at 8870'. mix of facets and crusts and some large temperature gradients.
few wind slabs off exposed ridges, 2-6"

- <p>few isolated wind slabs found just off exposed ridges, fairly stout, 2-6" deep</p>
Mixed bag. Melt Freeze Crusts, Wind Slab, Near Surface Facets, Rocks And No Snow On Southerly & Westerly Aspects.
