Snowing between S1 and S3 throughout the day, as we neared the pass the wind speed increased.
Snowpack
We observed a lot of wind transport and loading on the east side of the pass above 2000m. Where we dug our pit at 2250m on an NE/E slope that is approximately 25 degrees. HS is 185cm. We had CTVE 20cm, the storm snow that has fallen is not bonding well to the layer below and was quite touchy. We also got results CTH30 65cm.
