Snowpack

Dug on way aspect mid Treeline on east face of pulpit, upside down snowpack trending from fist to 1 finger to a faceted basement. CTM 17 down 55 on (dec/17 -Sh/Fc ) , hand shears on north of pulpit 5 and south sun alpine 4 were very stubborn.

Saw a couple loose dry 1.5 off steep rocky terrain in the sun.
