Comments

I traveled up to Cardiff Peak to view the extent of existing snow coverage. Areas of shallow old snow linger on northerly facing slopes above about 9000'. Where snow remains, the surface is crusted from recent warm temperatures, with weak snow developing below. This structure was found up to at least 10,250', I did not travel higher than that.
