Moist snowpack in Hyalite

Light winds and a sunny morning were quickly having an effect on the snowpack at history rock. Around 40f temps all day, with a moist, gloppy, snow surface. A quick dig in the top meadow showed the storm/windblown snow was moist down to the crust formed during our last high pressure, and the basal facets were also moist up to around 30cm from the ground. We saw no signs of instability in the less skied areas of the top meadow, including those that had been recently wind loaded.
