Weather

Skies - CLR Wind - Light (N) Temp @ TH (8700') - 25* @ 1030; 40* @ 1500; Strong Solar

Snowpack

Test Pit - East facing slope, 28* @ 10400' HS - 260cm. Ski Pen 5 - 10cm, top 3 cm was moist at 1200. March storm ~110cm and right-side up, progressing from P - 4F. Several mid-storm layers exist: - FC down 10 - Preserved stellars down 40 - Large graupel down 45 - Small graupel down 70 Preserved stellars produced SC, CTM results but ECTN (22). March HST felt very solid and is a stout 100cm+ slab. Sits on a preserved FC layer, down ~110. Did not test this layer but would not want to challenge it. Prop Saw Test would be really interesting on this layer for any ambitious diggers.
