ECTX- There may have been some small near surface facets NSF in the top 1cm of the snow surface. They were not reactive to test results and low enough density that they blended in with the new snow. Overall HS was 270cm.

Snowpack

About 1/2" of new snow on the surface.  The top 12" of the snow surface was soft low density broken precipitation particles.  The surface snow was small .5 stellars. Some cavity hoar under aspen trunks and settlement cones noted in the runout zones.
