Comments

Went out to inspect the damage from the rain storm. Thick unbreakable rain crust present on all aspects, at all elevations on Obo/Flute. 6cm thick @1725m NNW Obo shoulder. 6-10 cms of dry powder on top with no signs of wind transport. Surface Hoar present at treeline in sheltered openings. This crust will be a problem moving forward **
