Snowpack

North side of Quandary with very little new load, scratchy chalk/bullet proof above 12500 even at 2pm. Firm surface just starting to corn below that level at that time. Very little concerning load. South side near summit had widespread 2ft windload and we avoided that. North aspects in Mosquito near the area had the same look. More wind that snow was a surprising contrast to all the swollen looking loads in the pks 1-10 area.
