Comments
Pretty uneventful west facing pit @ 9100ft 150cm down. Of note, there was an unusually preserved graupel layer 95cm from the surface that I haven't seen mentioned yet, probably because it has been unreactive in ECTs and buried by very strong layers. Also, we had ESE winds through mid day before the storm started up. Our exit was at 2:30 and we did not ride anything steep enough to see if the new snow would move, but I think its fairly obvious from the other obs that there are pockets to watch out for. Sorry, my partner doesn't know how to spell "graupel", but he does a great job in the pit! Lol
