Comments
Depencier Lk @ 13:15 on Tuesday
Elevation: 1040 m
Aspect: North
Temp: -6
Winds mod gusting strong from NE. Actively transporting surface snow, even in the trees.
Ski penetration = 2"
Boot Penetration = >2'!!
Surface snow was a mix of small crystals & 1-2 mm grauple.
Crust layer approximately 5-6" down was 1.5-2" thick.
Ski cutting small convex rolls produced nothing more than minor surface sluffing.
