Snowpack Observations

Details

This gully had signs of past slides, but it was under the new snow.  I couldn't say if it was recent or not, but this area is holding a good amount of snow and is protected from the recent winds.  Southern had significantly less coverage than the Northern and Western apsects in this area.
