Snowpack: Traveled near and around Taylor Canyon. HS ~100 cm. Only 6″ or less over the 1/19 interface (crust or NSF, no SH observed), and the upper snowpack is now entirely faceted and weak, with thin faceted crusts on sunnier aspects. Snowpack is quickly faceting throughout. I saw no avalanche concerns other than shallow facet sluffing, and we traveled on numerous steep slopes.
