Snowpack

Snowpack: SE aspects have 2" of new MFcr with a small gap of dry DF's to the 3/20 MFcr. E aspects have a new 1" MFcr. N and NE aspects remain dry. Crusts were barely starting to soften around 1:30 PM. Avalanches: We triggered a golf cart-sized cornice by poking at it with a shovel onto a NE aspect. It did not trigger any slides. A lot of aggressive ski/snowmobile traffic in the area with no signs of instability.
