Snowpack
Traveled to the Blind Bull weather station to clear the snow interval board. We cleared 48.25" of snow containing 10.35" of SWE. These numbers are the total season snowpack for BlindBull. The top 40" of the snowpack is composed of newer snow from storms over the past month. The bottom ~8 inches of the snowpack is composed of weak faceted grains that formed from early-season snowfall. Total snow depth ranged from 3-4 feet at 9000' on all aspects. At middle elevations, total depths were 2-3 feet and 1-2 feet at low elevations.
