Snowpack

HS 130-170cm. HST 50-55cm since 1/19. Snowpack was generally supportive and relatively free of crusts for the aspect due to extended storms and lack of dry sunny periods. Much shallower and weaker snowpack than what is found on top of Red Mtn Pass. Visibility was poor. No signs of avalanches in terrain we could see.
