Snowpack

No whumphing nor propagation while touring up to the lower tram building in upper Mayflower Gulch; very wind-affected snow with hard 4-inch thick windslab in places on top and chalky soft windblown fresh otherwise. >TL HS=100 to 140cm; HN24=0; ridgeline winds VERY fast with intense windloading on NE/E/SE aspects. About 30-40cm down facets appeared with a buried slab about 5cm thick then more facets to the bottom.
