We skied wind-protected low-angle trees up Green Basin, dug a pit halfway down the run - 4 distinct snow layers existed. The 8-10" of snow that just fell sluffed off the 15-20" of snow from the last round of storms in mid-January. Beneath the snowpack from January is a soft, but increasingly faceted 10-12" trending towards a completely sugary base of 8-10" of faceted snow that continues to the ground.
