North side of Mt. Kostuik at treeline. 35 cm light powder from Nov. 1st storm on top of hard crust. Below this is 35 cm of very strong refrozen snow from the October snowfalls. Powder is starting to bond to crust. Powder is loaded onto SW facing slopes due to the NE winds that blew during the storm. The October snow is present down to ~1500 m, mainly on NE aspects.
