Snowpit Observations
More detailed information about the snowpack: 

Deep mid winter snowpack showing mostly stable conditions.  Shaded aspects holding unconsolidated snow and solar aspects getting heavier and in some spots developing a thin sun crust.  In more exposed areas the wind has affected the snow surface making it thicker and grabby.  Sluffing occured in steeper terrain, limited to the top 3-4'' of surface snow.
