Snowpack

Snow surface was moist by 11am, shady areas stayed dry through tour. Ski peneration varied from 30cm below treeline to 10cm in open areas near treeline. HS around 120cm at 10000' with ski pole easy to probe to ground. We dug near treeline on a WSW slope.HS 157. Multiple crusts punctuated the snowpack. Snow near the base of the snowpack was moist, however no water or percolation columns were noted. ECTX.
