Quick Observation

It was tropical up there. No overnight freeze. Temps around 15 degrees at 2090m elevation. The snowpack is a series of facets ranging from 3-6mm and laminated MFcrusts - at least where we investigated but seemed wise spread. Isothermic snowpack and extremely variable in depths. Saw point releases and evidence of large slides pulling to the ground on SW facing slopes. Harsh snowline and lots of crevasses starting to pop open.

Snowpack

Broken results x2 at CTM2 down 45cm on MFcrust with 6mm facets above.
