In our snow profile, we found a pretty good snow depth of 120cm. In summary, the pack was pretty right-side up except the very base. However, this seemed to be very wet and should harden with some cooler temps. We noted a lot of graupel of the recent snow, especially from when the storm moved at 60-70cm depth and around 90cm. Many of the snowpack is either precip particles or decomposing particles moving to rounds.
The rating of this pit is 9.
Many layers of graupel throughout, the most prominent being at 60-70cm.

We found good riding conditions where we skied. We noted that south facing and west facing slopes where pretty wind scoured and the pack remains pretty shallow. With a fairly high rain line, low elevation likely has less of a pack as well.
