Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p>Not that deep. snowpack is still shallow. Our pit was about 105 cm. isolated column shears were in top 50 cm and required 15-20 solid hand compressions.</p> <p>Not always where you would expect to find it.</p>

Light snowfall and light winds have improved skiing conditions. Surface wind slabs on NW slopes are getting covered.
