Quick report
Beautiful bluebird day, cold in the valley floor and felt warmer in the sun at upper elevations, brief gusts of wind from the south blowing at ridge lines. Lots of visible wind transport, several big trees blown over and felt wind effect snow on almost all aspects from mid to upper elevations. Quick pit and test scores: HS: 120-145cm HST ~ 50cm+ CT11 SP,Q1 down 40cm from surface ECTn12 down 40cm from surface Both tests showed reactivity on interface between the latest storm snow from yesterday and the previous storm right before it. No results on nasty ice crust layer(s) in our quick pit which I found surprising, will continue with a cautious and skeptical mindset of this snowpack for the foreseeable future.
