Snowpack

Surprisingly little wind slab on the east-facing slopes off of Green Mtn. There was 10-15 cm of storm snow that wasn't very reactive. Our biggest concern was the general faceting throughout the snowpack on steeper slopes. The most wind-affected snow seemed to be where it had cross-loaded. The west-facing slope off Green Mtn. was still pretty thin with some wind effects but nothing right on the surface.

Some steep north-facing slopes looked like they had run as dry sluffs.
