Snowpack

Lot of snow movement from wind up high. 36" snowpack in leeward areas. About a 4" crust layer from late September snow. Two other snows with lighter snow in October, probably around a foot or so. Heavy dense snow on top. Lots of debris from chute 2 and rock bands sliding good. Partner triggered pocket in chute 3 down to old snow layer, substantial amount of snow ran pretty far.
