Incline Lake Peak Observations

Snowpack observations were made in the same area of previous observations to compare test results of the buried facet layer.  The facet layer is now buried anywhere from 3 to 5'+ deep.  The characteristics of this buried layer remains the same but with snowpack tests showing somewhat mixed and limited results.  The recent storm snow is settling, gaining strength, and becoming more supportable. 

Full sun today did cause some small roller ball activity to occur on E-S aspects that we observed.  The top couple inches of snow on sun exposed slopes were wet with sun crust developing.  Most loose wet instabilities were limited at the elevations that were traveled on today.
