Weather
sky cover clear to few, variable light winds, mid 30s. plenty of white rabbits bouncing around, but no turkeys.
Snowpack
HS 20-60cm. structure was generally weak with few signs of significant melt forms. when isolating columns, the 4F upper snowpack easily crumbled away. the soft slab was resting on facets that failed easily in compression. proportionally, as we gained elevation, the frequency and extent of sudden collapse increased.
