Date of Observation: 12/02/2022
Name: Daniel K
Zone: Southeast Mountains
Route Description: Started at Wash. Gulch winter TH and headed up to 10800 on the furthest north of the west facing bowls on Snodgrass.
Observed avalanche activity: No
Weather: Windy enough at the TH to consider bailing. It had calmed down significantly by the time we finished a little after dark
Snowpack: HS ranged from 45cm at the deepest and barely anything on some of the scoured aspects. Some sporadic crust/facet basal layers found in flat areas and W aspects above 10200. One medium collapse on this layer around 10400 on 25-30 degree W slope and a few small collapses lower down in flats. No storm slab encountered, though wind effect gave some cream to the surface. Right side up everywhere we found new snow directly on the ground surface
