Comments
I went looking in odd places to map the distribution of facets on the snow surface.
All NW, N, and NE aspects are faceted - on the surface and throughout much of the snowpack. At these aspects on all elevations. See pit profile at 7500 feet.
Above 9500 feet W and E aspects are faceted on the snow surface.
All SW, S and SE aspects are getting getting cooked. Wet snow during the day and refreezing at night.
