Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p>New snow soft slabs and loose dry seemed to be the more problematic issues of the day...as noted in observations. We did not see any in our travels other than minor cracking around skis.</p> <p> HS at 8500' NE was 190-200cm. THIS is a lot of snow for this elevation in Mill Creek. November facets are rounding and trending 4F+.... and buried 150cm.</p> <p>Looking for any possible mid-pack PWL and found no evidence of this. </p>

Travel was Spruces>Lees Fork>Reynolds>Big Water and return.

Upside down and punchy; graupel and rimed precip particles to finish the storm.
