Snowpack

On northeast facing terrain, there was an average height of snow between 60-85cm. I found one isolated roll over with a height of snow closer to 120cm. There are two melt freeze crust sitting above a pencil hard slab (see snow profile below). Snowpack tests on this aspect resulted in propagation in deep faceted layers. It is worth keeping an eye on this poor structure for wet avalanche issues as warming continues through the week.
