Snowpack

NE Aspect 12000ft elevation just below the ridge line on gold hill Total depth was 49cm. The bottom 15cm was fist hard basal facets The snowpack was between 1F and 4F hard to the surface. I couldn't find a wind slab layer in our pit, but on the top of the ridge we felt some under our feet.
