Snowpack

Thin and settled. Two weak layers still observable on N facing slopes, but generally non-reactive except for the occasional snowpack test, but results are not consistent nor repeatable. NO signs of instability. The east side of the Aspen zone generally has 50-70 cm snopwack near and above treeline. Nov. 22nd weak layer evident in some places and not others. 10cm of depth hoar present in all locations NTL (2mm) with signs of rounding. Slabs NTL up to 1F in stiffness but not very continuous...around 5-10m across.
