Comments
Mostly stable snowpack. No weaknesses found adjacent to the Feb 7th Dickens crust except where the 'recent' storm(s) snow has started to weaken in the lowest elevations. Snow surfaces starting to weaken on both sides of the compass.
On southerlies, finding weak snow on the surface just above a dust layer/mf crust. Grain photos below.
Most intriguing layering found on easterly aspects with a mess of facet/crust combinations. Surface crust 2cm with superficial faceted grains; crust likely bed surface and prob not stepping down into weaker structure below (photo).
