Comments

Afternoon travels in upper Dry Fork provided observation of snow surfaces on many compass directions. On SE through W, supportable baby corn came on midday. On E, wet hot pow was still present, entraining itself, and forming new rollerballs in the afternoon. Runnels were observed on all aspects (attached photo from SE 10400’), which are forming from old tracks below last week’s snow, which has consolidated greatly, down to 10-20cm.
