Snowpack

Variable depending on aspect, wind scouring and altitude. skied mostly north to east aspects below treeline. one pit was dug on NE aspect with a few inches of fresh on top of 18" moderate slab with 24" of sugar snow below to ground. Skiing found moderate slabs at times and deep (>30") sugar with no slab at times. Great variability in snowpack. Much of area skied appeared to have little fresh snow from overnight storm.
