Snowpack and Test Scores in October Bowl

Went for a couple quick tours over the past two days in the Northern Bridgers. In October Bowl at 8157' on a NE aspect I found a HS of 30 cm with recent fist hard snow in the top 10 cm. The new snow sat on top of a 5 cm knife hard crust likely from the warm snow/rain event last week. Below the crust were 15 cm of 1F facets. The crust progressively deteriorated when moving up in elevation. Near the top of October Bowl I performed two CTs in a a location where the HS = ~50 cm. My results were CT12 Q3 and CT15 Q3.
