Thin snow coverage in Mount Rose zone.

Snow depths in the Tamarack peak area were consistently 4 to 6 inches in most areas. Conditions from afar appeared similar on neighboring Relay Peak. Some melt has occurred on S aspects. Recent northeast wind scouring has removed some snow from the upper portion of traditional avalanche start zones. Some are more bare than others. Very strong snow temperature gradients exist, but faceting is still early stage and poorly developed.
