Snowpack

New snow only added up to 2"-3" as of noon today. Warm temps have helped new snow bond to the old snow surface. The snowpack along the corridor remains >1m deep. The southerly facing paths are stacked with crust/facet layers. ECTX at lower flank of Yellow Springs Wall. The northerly facing paths are much simpler, comprised of newer snow sitting on older facets. ECTN at this interface (down 25 cm from the top).
