Weather

Overcast all day with no wind below treeline. Light snow started around 2 PM

Snowpack

Simple snowpack structure on northeast and east below treeline. 35 cm of facets and depth hoar beneath a 30 cm slab from the recent storm snow. No buried crust was observed beneath the recent storm slab.--- Sunny aspects below treeline had a much different structure with recent snow falling on bare ground and therefore no buried faceted layers.
