1. Map snow zones through photography
   Photographed the study area at approximately weekly intervals from adjacent mountainside. Drew contours on detailed map outlining snowcovered areas to define four snow zones covering the period from nearly continuous snow cover in mid-May to complete snowmelt in late July.
