Clear and warm with a strong southerly wind. Little moving snow was noted

Snowpack

The south aspect surfaces have settled into a 3cm melt/freeze crust sitting above 15-20cm new snow from the past storm. This exists only above treeline as the snow lost most of its depth below TL on this aspect. Under the new, soft snow is the old m/f crust marking the top of the 1/11 storm. Below that was a few cm of faceted snow on the ground. Overall depth was anywhere from 25-35cm and that was in the deepest locations. There was still more grass showing than snow.
