Tamarack Peak Snowpack Observations

We skinned up the East Ridge of Tamarack Peak today to make snowpack observations.  Around 2 feet of snow exists throughout most of this area with plenty of obstacles and early season conditions present.  Ski pen was at 15cm providing some ski supportability while traveling through this terrain.  At our high point at 9400' in near treeline terrain, wind loading and wind slab development was very limited with no snow surface cracking present.
