Snow Science in Action

Justin invited me to play around in the snow. We left Seattle at 8 am. The drive to Stevens Pass revealed the landslides and damage to the roads from the last week's deluge. We were delighted by sun and slathered on the sunscreen. We were off to do some snow science. Justin opted for his skis, despite reports of the dust on crust conditions. My snowshoes (a great introduction to back country post accident) punched the crud. Wednesday's rain layer was obvious even before we dug a pit. Check out the photos here to see the snow science in action.
