Observations
Unusually well preserved, cold snow on all aspects. Dry, loose slides were common on steep, 40 degree slopes. Old, cold snow was not well bonded to harder crust 5-6 inches underneath. Below tree line the surface was not wind effected or cohesive. Later in the day, after 2pm, we saw a great deal of wind transport on ridge lines such as Ptarmigan Ridge, Mazama Dome and Mt. Herman.
