Snow Pack

I didn't see anyone post any numbers, so I figured I would. I snowshoed all the way to the top last week so I have some good readings. There was about 2-3' of snow on the road past McGill, but it is on the southern slopes. In the parking lot at 8200', there was about 4-6', 4' where the sun was out most of the day and 6' in the shade. On the northern slopes at the very top, there's almost 8' of snow in places! The snow was almost to the barb wire fence by the tower, just for an example.

Even more on the other side...

Hope that helps some people.
