Up at the pass again today under mostly cloudy skies with intermittent
snow. Another 8cm fell during the day and coupled with the ~30 new
over the last few days, there's now just enough to hide largeish
boulders.
There was little wind so the new snow is soft (4F-F) and the bond with
the underlying rain crust (now down amywhere from 50-80cm) is slowly
strenghtening. Field snow depths ranged from 80-120cm.
Numerous creeks still open sometimes require circuitous routes. Heavy
trailbreaking with 40cm ski penetration.
