Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p>There have been a number of human triggered avalanches this week in Summit Park but it seemed like the snowpack might be healing a bit. I was surprised when two ECTs produced very clean propagation, one at 10 from elbow and one at 7 from wrist! Both slid on the rhyme layer that produced the loud powder from a few weeks back. These lower elevation north facing slopes that had been so solid earlier definitely are the the outliers now. </p>

There was a 2"-4" layer of groupel on top of the old snow.
