Snowpack Observations

Details

Cropped view of upper Avalanche Gulch taken ~300 yards NE of Sierra Club cabin.  Wind impacts in exposed areas are obvious indicating snow tranport, wind-affected snow and likely rotten skiing.  It looks like a storm slab came down  on the left side of the Heart and was subsequently buried by snowfall.  It appears to stop around the elevation of Lake Helen.
