Lionhead

Lionhead

1.5 to 2 feet of snow is on the ground at Lionhead.  This pic is above Denny Creek at 8,000 feet.  The snowpack is faceted, but not as bad as I thought.  I could not get layers to propagate fractures in my stability tests.  The top three inches is the weakest snow in the pack, so we'll be watching closely when it gets buried with the next storm.
