Weather

Mostly overcast skies and moderate southwest winds kept the temperatures cool and the snow surface frozen. No precipitation during the trip.

Snowpack

Near treeline on a north-facing slopey, the total snowpack depth ranges between 225-275 cm. You can still find evidence of the early February facet layer about 75 to 100cm below the surface but it is unreactive in extended column tests and extensive slope testing.
