Snowpack

HS 3 feet at 6,200 ft north aspect in the trees. The bottom 18” of snow was a mix of refrozen rain crusts. Approx 1” of pencil hard rain crust on top of multiple refrozen crusts. Additional 12”-16” slab of fist hard snow on the top of the snowpack. Anywhere that was exposed to the sun had very large 2-3” facets. Anything that was not north facing was thin and rotten with most southern slopes holding little to no snow.
