Signs of Unstable Snow

Observations

Continuous snow coverage started at 3,400ft. Traveled to 4,500ft. Coverage is still thin, with up to 12" of snow at our high point. Most areas had 6-8" of snow. There was a solid frozen layer at ground level, with moist snow above that and a 1-3" thick breakable crust on the top. Snow conditions were pretty uniform across all aspects. Light to moderate snow mixed with grapple, less than an inch of accumulation in 3 hours.
