Observations
Yesterday we went out to heaven hill. I observed some natural point releases on the E aspect of heaven hill. Solar affected slopes had not developed a crust yet. Ridge line travel was slow and difficult due to the unsupportable snowpack. The more wind exposed slopes were scoured and only inches deep in spots.
