More comments about the snowpack and weather: 
Deepest storm accumulations were between 4 and 6,000 feet in elevation. Tues nite’s storm snow capped a fairly stout crust but did not seem to be slabbing up where we were. Travelled on steep treed terrain with some sluffing but no obvious signs of instability. Snow depth was 160 cm at 6,000 ft.
