Snowpack

Below treeline basically facets. In one isolated steep gully feature I could kick a sluff off quite easily, just facets to the ground, small feature tho. In open meadows we could find areas were there was a thin wind slab skin in patches, though not wide spread. Near treeline the snowpack was generally a wind slab skin with large facets at the ground, Snow cover was quite thin. Above treeline it was a patchwork of snow & rock. Basically any gully feature was filled with hard slab on the NE-E-SE aspects that we could see on the east side of the range.
