Snowpack

Pre-storm it was maybe 20” deep. All rotten. The wind blew hard all thru the storm, so accumulation is tough to say. Maybe 8”. After the storm cleared out in the middle of the night, the wind was EXTREME. Even in the trees by the hut had a wind crust. We saw several natural wind slabs that had run at and above treeline but nothing ran very big. We felt many whomps and saw lots of shooting cracks on our way out. Big settlements.
