Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p>Comprised of sugary facets near the ground, with a couple crusts of varying thickness and strength, topped off with 6" of light density snow. Not a total gong show and we've experienced a lot worse early season setups. However, the pack has issues and once it snows... we'll see avalanches.</p>

Sheltered terrain offering shallow powder with a little wind pat in exposed terrain. In general though, it's shallow and low tide conditions abound.
