Snow Characteristics Comments
Still good turns to be found on ENE, N and NNE. Crust underneath was more obvious than yesterday when we were about 5 miles farther southwest but in similar elevation. Southwest facing at 9,150' had a stout 1" sun crust. East facing low angle at 8,700 had a slight sun crust.
Comments
Was surprised to find a bit more sugar at the base (20cm) and slightly lower total depth today. NE, 9,130', 33 degree slope, total depth 110cm.
