Weather

Times of snow, wind, and breaks in the clouds. Windy at ridge tops, snow plumes coming off peaks in upper part of Yule Creek.

Snowpack

Dug down 100 cm. 20 cm of new snow sitting on a sun crust, another sun crust 20 cm down. Surface hoar layer 55 cm down. Interesting in this layer when poking around in it still preserved graupel, looked like it had just fallen out of the sky. Below this layer, changed quickly to pencil hardness.
