Snowpack

Two snow courses: Bottom of Red Lady Glades (Keystone) and the other by Mike's Mile (Crested Butte). Hard rain crust found at both courses 4 inches below the surface. Felt like an ice lens trying to take snow cores. Depth of snow ranged between 24 and 35 inches on average. A few spots protected by tree cover were between 7 and 12 inches. Red Lady Glade Course appears to be much warmer as soil plugs were wet and loose.
