Observations

Front Range – Rabbit Creek – Peak 3:

Standard uptrack to get in some quick laps before the big game. Minimal snow coverage in the trees. Variable conditions above tree line to include supportable crust, breakable crust, 1-2” of faceted snow on top of crust. No formal pit dug and hand pits showed a very shallow snow pack that consisted of faceted snow (0-2”) sitting on top of a fairly stout crust (1-3”) sitting on top of heavy faceted snow (1/2-1”). The ridge line is completely scoured to lookers right and there is still lots of rock exposure throughout.
