Beautiful day. Calm winds, clear skies, pleasant temps.

Snowpack

Remarkably supportable snowpack, even below treeline. 4 finger slab over well developed facets, E aspect BTL, but no results with snowpack tests. Cohesive slabs on W aspects below and near treeline. Dug a pit on NNW aspect near treeline. Over 1 meter deep, cohesive wind drifted snow up to 1 finger hardness over facets, couldn't get to break in ECT.
