Comments
Wanted to check a high elevation SE slope with the increased coverage from this storm. HS 55cm at 10,550 on SE. There was a firm crust directly on the ground with no facets above or below the crust. Just 52cms of right side up snow sitting on top of the crust. New snow was typical UT light density and had no cohesion to it as of 0900.
