Weather

WEATHER: Broken skies. Calm winds. I counted 4 or 5 snowflakes falling from the sky.. But they were pretty big.

Snowpack

SNOWPACK: A profile on a NE aspect below treeline showed the Jan 11 surface hoar layer 25 cm deep, with fist hard, faceted snow above and below. No real slab over the surface hoar and no results on this layer, and we didn't see any signs of instability on slopes up to 40 degrees. UPLOADS:
