Today four members joined me for their first experience of snowshoeing and snow survey. Conditions were tough with heavy wet snow falling throughout the day, after a two week period of relatively heavy snowfall. We took 20 measurements in the larch stand to give the following mean values. Compared with recent years, the snowpack is relatively large.
