Snowpack

Lots of variability in the alpine as expected. The hard slabs and wind boards that we encountered on this tour were mostly discontinuous and variable. No signs of instability or anything notable at the interface to report back on given all the variablity. Looking off the west side of Gabarfeich Pass the slab looked more contentious and thicker. I couldn't tell if that was because the snow loaded through the pass or was dammed up by the cliffs on the west side.
