Comments
Took the long ride in to Mt Harrison to check out a low snowpack area today...which we found in spades. 100 cm at 2025 m and the snowpack was heavily faceted. When we got off our sleds our boots punched pretty much to ground which was very different to the Mear lake area where the middle of the snowpack was supportive and well settled. The winds were blowing, moving snow around at all elevations from the SW. Our snowpack test showed in shallow areas that the early season facets at the bottom are still something to think about.
