Very early season conditions here in Tahoe. Found some faceting snow in a burn hole from the Caldor fire. #crevassehoar #surfacehoar #snow #laketahoe #SnowScience #CaldorFire #california #mountains

Checking the conditions on Carson Pass. Lots of wind effected snow with some concerning buried weak layers.

Visited a facet factory near Stevens Peak. Northfacing + cold + shallow + 9000’ = facets. It will likely be interesting when the storms return.
