Snowpack
Strong winds were keeping surfaces mostly frozen at upper elevations, today. Above treeline on a 40* SE aspect, there was 2-3" of refreezing melt-freeze crust, semi-supportive on skis, with dry snow below. On a 30* SE aspect below treeline, there was 3" of very wet snow at the surface with moist snow down to the Jan 29th crust, about 15" deep. On a 35* S aspect below treeline, the snowpack was entirely wet to very wet, about 20-24" total depth. No signs of instability today.
