Snowpack: Checking on storm snow at 10,600′ at 130pm – about 5 inches with .6 SWE. Most of the new precip came in the form of graupel.
Open terrain features below treeline were starting to drift and crack – less than a ski length. Storm snow was very cohesive and slab-like. HS through this BTL NE facing terrain was around 150 to 160cm.
