Comments
190 cm of at treeline. 130 cm of new snow since the rains of Nov 22. Mid-pack is well settled. Facets near the ground continue to round with a favorable temperature gradient. Distribution of basal facets is variable with elevation and aspect. Lots of snow available for transport. Foot pen was 100cm and if you pressed hard while skiing faceshots were not hard to get!
