Snowpack

On N aspect < TL, the snowpack is weak but unreactive. In most places, the snowpack consisted of ~20 cm 4F hard DF layer with weak FC below. In isolated areas, the snow is more supportive with the 1F hard top layer above the FC below. On E-SE aspects ATL, the snowpack is more complicated but still unreactive in areas where I traveled. See snowpit for more details.
