Snowpack

Observed little change on this slope between 2 trips on 12/26 and 12/27.The surface was wind-pressed but could not achieve cracking further than from underfoot on loaded terrain features. Faint but evident dust layer mixed in subtle wind deposited features. Mostly found a right side up snowpack via pole probes and hand pits while on the up track. Ski pen 35cm Boot pen 85! High snowpack test scores. See attached snow profile.
