Snowpack

Recent storm snow has already faceted and sits on top of a 20cm thick, 1F hard slab. This all sits on top of basal facets that have (surprisingly) not yet developed into depth hoar. Height of snow where I dug was a little over 80cm, however traveling around on north to northeast aspects I probed snow heights ranging from 40cm to 90cm.
