I found widespread and well-developed feathery surface hoar crystals standing up on the snow surface all over the place in Steep Hollow and throughout Franklin Basin....

I've included pit profiles from slopes in Steep Hollow facing almost opposite directions.

A buried weak layer with graupel and near surface facets
