Snowpack

Upon ascending Willow Swamp debris/bed surface (it has been shot and slid recently) the snow became unsupportable to my weight on skis in places. Ended up digging a pit on a fairly northerly aspect in the top skiers right of Willow Swamp. Graph is attached. Where I dug my pit was below TL, but in a location that receives plenty of loading because of the terrain feature it is a part of. It would be more similar to near and above TL terrain.
