Poor Snowpack Structure
Comments
Northwest face of Point Supreme. On western aspects I found depths of 60cm, on northwest aspects I found depths of 86cm. Snowpilot graph is for a NW facing slope @10,200. Lots of layers, mostly bouncing back and forth between crusts and facets. Lower basal facets seem to be beginning to round at least at this mid-high elevation location, likely due to relatively warm temps from the past week. Facets bounced in hand much more at mid pack, less so/almost not at all for lower snow. Concerning layer is 46cm - 43cm of very developed facets. Above and below this layer are crusts 2cm thick. No notable results of CT, ECT, or PST (@44cm)
