Quick Observation

Well, the MIN wanted optimism, so my earlier post was cropped. So, now you know the good... The bad: Still VERY wind affected snow in the alpine. Stripped to crust in spots. Hard windslab and satstrugi-esque features building in the alpine. The ugly: There's no snow, really. Big Y North and South have snow depths averaging 60cm, though just rock in many places, and never exceeding 1m. Heads up travel!

Snowpack

Two compression tests at 1200m, N Aspect. No result
