Snowpack

Found saturated surface snow on all near treeline aspects. Previously wind effected slopes were wet but still supportable. Southwest, south and southeast facing slopes were completely unsupportable and saturated to the ground. On a northeast facing slope the top 3 to 4 inches of snow was damp and the upper 60cm of the snowpack was dry to moist.
