Woody Ridge obs

While on a tour today out in Republic Creek, we decided to skin a forested W aspect to gain woody ridge. As we started to near the alpine, we dug a pit on a N aspect at 9900ft and in return got a ectp24 at 30cm in our test. Snowpack in the area was roughly 110cm. The snowpack failed on a buried crust layer that has not bonded to the new snowfall.
