Quick Observation

At 6200' we had an ECTN 25 45cm down on the mid December crusts that seemed less prevelent than other areas of the same aspect. The whole snowpack seemed cohesive and right side up so we gave her the onion but avoided the rocky roll over. Found roller balls in the sun between 6000' and 5800' that didn't grow to pinwheels.
