Snowpack
Toured E-NE-N-NW aspects from 9,000-11,200 around Wolverine Basin. Average snowpack 30-50cm of weak faceted snow below a 1-3 cm faceting crust from warmer temps in late Nov. That crust generally now has 1-4 cm of small faceted crystals above it on most sheltered slopes from recent light accumulations . Although the crust has weakened in recent weeks, it still may be capable of supporting a slab in certain areas especially as you move from North aspects to NE and E aspects.
