Deep Creek Snowpack Observation

Today we went to ski some north facing aspects in deep creak and take observations to see potential changes in the snowpack within the last few days. While ascending widespread surface hoar was visible from small grain to large. 


Skiing conservative terrain off of the deep creek Ridgeline, we dug a pit  and found the same F->P snow sitting on top of a weak faceted layer 1F->4F 166cm’s down . The top of this particular weak layer the facets were in a rounding state while the bottom portion seemed to still be mostly faceted and a bit weaker than the rounding facets above it. DT and PST were performed, view snow profile for details.
