Snowpack

Silver Ledge Mine is a short moderately steep, mostly E facing aspect below TL. Found very supportive snow on the entire slope. Avg 100cm+ depth. Moist down 3-5cm in the more sun-protected area and moist down 15-20 cm in more sunny section of this slope. In another location ski-tested a steep SE aspect - that had been baking the longest - Slope was very moist and becoming unsupportive.
