Snowpack

Below TL on E and S aspects, the upper 30 cm of the snow was frozen (less in dense trees), except for areas near rocks and cliffs where the snowpack is still wet and unsupportive. On N and E aspects, >=TL, the snow from April 13 is turning into small FC with 1 cm weak CR layer above on E aspect. On N aspect, the snowpack is deep and strong. See snowpit for more details.
