Snowpack

HS: Highly variable but 40-80cms BTL increasing to over a meter near treeline. NE mostly faceted T to B. E-SE Basal DH w/ alternating slab and PWL above that. MF crusts and wind slab specific to elevation and aspect, isolated collapsing. Primary LOC = FC down ~50cms near TL - PST 30/100 (End). Hard results on shallower layer, very hard yet striking results on basal layer. SCN on target features. Look it up. Skiing alternated between FC on slab surfing, bottomless PS, and thin MF zippah.
