Snowpit Observations

More detailed information about the snowpack:

Toured out of Aspendell to Peak 11938 overlooking the South Lake drainage. My partner already posted a report on the pit we dug on a N slope at around 11400' (consolidated slab over thick, weak facet layer). Here are some photos of the current state of coverage up in the drainage and the Thompson/Gilbert zone - pretty thin, but traversable.
