Day 152: Snowpack

Day 2 of our overnight trip to Tenquille Lake. Despite the amount of snow we had over the winter and the cool spring, we encountered only small amounts of snow on our extended exploration. This photo makes the snowpack look much deeper than it actually was because this patch is on the north side of a ridge where wind-blown snow piled up over the winter. There was probably a cornice here too. Most of the snow patches we hiked over were only a couple of feet deep at most. But this little 6-metre snow cliff makes for a good photo, especially with Maria in it for scale.
