Signs of Unstable Snow

Observations

Snow coverage started at 3000' but was minimal. Real snow started at 4000'. 120 cm HS at the lookout, but that was one poke with the probe in one spot.

Gusty in exposed areas. Snow in shaded/sheltered areas above 4000' had a few inches of dry stuff on top of various crusts. Snow on solar aspects was radically different, more cohesive, slabby and eroded into sastrugi on surface. Wind slabs on top of Sun Top.
