Comments
There's still plenty of weak snow to be found in the Uintas snowpack but the warm weather has helped. It's not nearly as weak as I expected it to be earlier this month.
Photo 1 - sparkling surface hoar at 9800 ft
Photo 2 - 60 cm snowpack (2 ft) with arrows showing the weak, faceted snow. Near the surface and near the ground.
Video - Unofficial snowpack test, Mark runs the track just above the pit wall and nothing fractures which lines up with LOW danger and a lack of any signs of instability
