Snowpack
Snow from 03.19 became moist on most aspects and elevations by this afternoon, but never wet or soppy. The underlying melt-freeze crust started to soften in the afternoon below treelins on S and W slopes, but is still pretty stout and supportable. Some pinwheels in the new snow this afternoon on steeper S and W terrain, no other signs of instability observed in our tenure.
