Walked up Mineral Fork (BCC) to see the current coverage. Snow begins to appear above 8,000 feet, with 5-10 cm of weak, sugary facets capped by a thin layer of saturated snow. Overall coverage is thin and largely disconnected on east-facing slopes, while west-facing terrain holds very little snow. The only consistently covered area was Room of Doom (north-facing terrain above 10,000'), where a mostly continuous blanket of snow remained, broken up only by a few exposed rocks.
