Snowpack
New layer (38cm on lee aspect) of fist hard storm snow is still bonding and firming up, but is sitting on a MF crust (knife hardness) that’s hard to get a shovel through and that’s been forming for weeks. The pack has multiple layers starting 40 down and extending past 150cm, some of which are facetting and becoming sugary.
