Snow Characteristics Comments

We found a few handfuls of faceted loose snow in sheltered ENE terrain. Other than that, it was the standing mixed bag of breakable/non-breakable crusts and wind buff. On sunny slopes, there is no loose snow, while on shady slopes, there is plenty of NSFs. Did not observe SH in this area.
