Limited visibility. Observation made on N aspect of Log Cabin in somewhat sheltered area.

Snowpack

Full profile pit dug just below TL (1100m asl) on N aspect. Objectives were to investigate 'early' season snowpack with focus on mid-Nov melt freeze layer around 72cm down (27cm from bottom). See all detail here (or photo of profile): https://snowpilot.org/node/11969 Note: conditions were stormy with wet snow precip (no rain as of 3pm), and light winds. Interesting how this could change things...
