Snowpack

NE facing meadow located at treeline, with average HS 60cm.Some cornice form on SE facing ridge, but rocks and vegetation still visible on slopes below. All W and NW facing terrain above treeline blown mostly clean with the exception of lee gullies and subridges, which held onto thin strips of snow. We heard anecdotally that Tin Cup Pass to our south has twice the snow of Cottonwood.
