Snow depth ranging from 100cm at 1600 meters to 170cm at ridge top around 2000 meters. Minimal wind effect. The snowpack is well settled with mostly 1F snow below the top 10-15cm. Some minor surface facets and very isolated surface hoar(1-2mm) was found in sheltered treeline elevations. Something to keep track of until we get our next storm.
