I found snowpack conditions on both ends of the spectrum on Tuesday. Deep locations (areas with 5 to 6' of total snow) have very strong layers in the mid and upper pack. The old weak snow near the ground has gained strength. Snowpit tests did not yield any significant results. On the other end I also found shallow areas where the snowpack is "punchy" and contains loose sugary faceted snow. This was mostly on northwest facing slopes along the higher ridges where the wind has kept the total depths shallow. I felt comfortable getting onto some steeper north facing terrain but the slopes were quite short with no serious consequences if they would have avalanched.
