Aspen

Snowpack

Below 10,800 any shady aspects are very unconsolidated and unsupported with trap door style skiing at best. On these aspects on any temporary supportive slope noticed moderate collapsing. Not enough slab above the basal facets to cause widespread or large avalanching but concern of triggering sizable loose snow slides into terrain traps was present. Solar aspects below 10,800 ranged from bare ground to breakable crust to fully supportable crust on S aspects. Snowpack is thin with several crust layers above basal facets. Above 10,800 any E-SE-S aspects had breakable sun crust with several buried curst layers above basal facts. Only aspects that offered descent skiing were shady E aspects and those on the northern half of the compass. No noticeable cracking or collapsing above 10,800 on any aspects.
