Snowpack

The snow surface is a p hard wind packed in areas where the wind did not strip the snow. On the west side of gullies, the snowpack is about 1.8 m and decreases as you move toward the east side of the gullies. The windpacked slab where the snow[ack is deeper is > 50 cm thick and down to 15 cm. A 4F, 1.5-2 mm FC layer is laying underneath the wind slab. I did not observe any cracking or whoomphing. See snowpit for more details.
