I have attached 5 pictures from 17 feb and 20 feb of the pink snow at niwot [Ridge] .

The dust layer has changed as the snow has metamorphosed as seen in pics
*13.jpg taken on 17 feb, and *68.jpg, and *71.jpg taken on 20 feb.

Pictures *18.jpg and *44.jpg show the pink snow in the drifts above the soddie site.
Cheers
Kurt

Attached is a photo taken yesterday, Feb 28 [from near the Marr Lab].

The red red dust layer was removed on Feb 24 [in areas of this site] leaving the white snow surface one to two inches lower at
that time.  It is now about that much higher.
