Snowpack

The upper snowpack is spongy and dense below treeline. On northeast and northwest-facing terrain the March 23rd interface was still moist up to around 10,500', and dry above that. Due north-facing slopes hide a slick facet layer at that same interface. At you approach 11,000' the facet layer becomes easy to find on more slopes (NW-N-NE).
