Snowpack

The southern(SW-S-SE) aspects that we encountered, especially open areas and steeper slopes, had an inch or so of sun-crust under the new snow that was falling on Sunday. At the time it did not appear to be bonding very well. We also observed some collapsing when stomping out transition platforms in the trees at ~11,100'.
