GPS 41.38511/-111.47477

125cm deep (35cm of new storm snow)

ECTP 12 - Broke at the ground

elevation 8265ft Compass heading 300 North West

The snow felt solid under the track, the early season punchiness seems to be fading and better traction all around. The snow feels very supportable

I did measure deeper snow up to 160 cm in other spots
