The continued snow cover is limited to gullies deep enough to catch wind drifts. In other places, it is limited to small continuous areas and papers with rocks.

In general, continuous snow cover is limited to gullies. Snow cover is limited to small areas and is papered with rocks in other areas. Where I was traveling, the snowpack was about 30-40 cm on average, with up to 80 cm in specific locations. On Southerly aspects, the snow is slightly shallower with one cm of K hard crust above 4F to 1F hard FC. The snowpack is mostly FC on E-NE aspects, with about 5 to 10 cm of 1F wind-packed grain at the top of the snowpack. This structure is enough for ECTP 17, about 20 cm from the top on NE aspect/11800 ft., but lacks a slab layer in most places.
