Socked in and snowing.

Snowpack

Dug a quick pit at the top of Mustang (11,500', E-facing aspect). Height of Snow was 60cm. New Storm Snow was 35cm. There was about 10cm of facets at the ground, and another 15cm of weak snow on top of that. The snowpack is still very shallow below 11,000' which makes skiing tricky.
