Snow Characteristics Comments

Went up to the north side of Cardiff Peak to take a look at the old snow. The snow was weak and unconsolidated. It was different than the damp snow I found in Silver Fork the day before. Max snow depth was about a foot deep.

Here are a few pics. The snow pit is from 10,100 on the north side of Cardiff Peak. The other pics give you a decent idea of where to old snow is in Cardiff Fork is.
