Snowpit Observations
More detailed information about the snowpack: 

Observations in mostly wind protected terrain and east of the crest.  A mostly stable and right side up snowpack observed today in Deep Creek.  Surface hoar was most developed near the ridgelines, at lower elevations it was either not observed or very small-not widespread throughout this drainage.
