Snowpack
Overall the snowpack seems stable on N-E-S aspect <= TL. We found up to \5 cm of new snow on the surface. However, this new load did not change the snowpack stability where we traveled. No S aspects, <=TL and snowpack was up to 65 cm deep with crust layers near the surface. A weak FC layers below the upper crust and under the new snow have the potential to become reactive with more loading. On N-E aspect <=TL, the snowpack was around 120 cm in areas where we dug. A near surface FC layer under the new snow was not reactive. The snowpack below the upper layers was strong (ECTX).
