Snowpack

Snowpack: As of Friday, the new snow from middle of last week had been blown into 1F-4F windslabs in the valley bottoms. The ones I found were 4-8? thick. Found a very thin (<1cm) sun crust on some aspects and in the flats just below newer snow (maybe from thursday?). HS in flats is about 2-3 feet, though deeper in wind pockets, shallower where wind scoured. Snow depth of hillsides varies greatly depending on aspect.
