Snowpack

Height of snow of a north aspect at 11,500' averaged 210cm. Facet layer from the January/February dry spell was hard to detect and consisted of 1 finger rounding facets. Resting above was a stout 4ft slab of 1 finger/pencil hard. East aspects near treeline were not loading efficiently due to strong winds with extreme gusts from the west. Below treeline there wasn't much of a refreeze last night as all aspects contained some amount of wet snow early in the AM.
