Snowpack

I toured up Little French to Guyot’s NW shoulder. Snowpack was 60-70 cm on the NE aspect near tree line where it’s open. Seemed to be a fair amount of wind deposition. Some layering evident but all of it was 4 finger or softer. Minor cracking here and there. Seemed mostly uncohesive. Base of the snowpack was small facets.
