Snowpack

• Snowpack Description: Below treeline it is starting to see 'The Cancer', but it's been freezing enough at night to allow for mostly supportable travel in the morning. Creeks and ponds are under an increasingly weak bridge of snow. Above treeline the snowpack has a nice and supportable crust which will strengthen after Monday night's solid freeze.
