Comments

Intermittent obscured visibility kept us close to the truck today. Snow on the flats is saturated and shmooey, but dry low density snow still exists on N aspects. We dug a profile on a N aspect convexity and didn't find any layers of concern or any results in a compression test. Snow depth of 320cm to the N below three guardsmen.

Limited travel day, difficult to see anything.
