Weather

Snowing (maybe 1 cm/hr?) and blowing (wind gusty below treeline, ~15 mph at treeline) between 8:30 and 11:00 AM.

Snowpack

Highly variable, but decent coverage below Trail Ridge Road, anywhere from 10-150 cm. Dug pit on uphill side of road just to the north of main vein, 100-115 cm deep, NE facing, 25 degrees. 2 subsequent compression tests yielded same result: CT19 @ 17 cm (top of basal facet layer in this location).
