Poor Snowpack Structure
Comments
Roughly 1-2' (probably generous) on the northerly aspects with exceedingly weak faceted snow at the "mid"-pack and along the surface. Should be a nice avalanche cycle down here with any significant storms.
Small grained SH-2mm caps - in many cases - chained facets in sheltered, shady terrain.
