Snowpack

See profile. Recent storm snow warming and settling rapidly. Sitting on top of 4cm thick and pronounced MFC, which had dust on the top of it. Deeper buried persistent weak layers still exist in top meter of snowpack, but nonreactive in testing today. Snowpack cold on N'erthly aspects still, but showing signs of transitioning to spring. Recent storm snow bonding reasonably well to old surface considerng it's a crust, but still able to get small slab to release...see avy obs.
