Snowpack

Great surface conditions for skiing on Westerly aspects we toured on. Around 15-30cm of new snow from the last few storms in most areas. Started to notice a MF crust underneath new snow on more exposed and Southerly aspects. Found a fairly prevelant mid pack slab while poking around on the tour. Dug a pit at about 12k ft, West aspect, HS 90, and highlighted a 1 finger mid pack slab on top of facet/crust combos near ground. ECTP24 down 45cm.
