Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p>Trent point to our problem child- a layer of faceted snow that grew weak and sugary during the cold dry spell of early December.</p>

We went to check on the wind site on Windy Peak and it resembled a scene from Ice Station Zebra.

Surface snow is a little bit of a mix. Windward terrain facing the south half of the compass is scoured and variable. North facing terrain offers deep, light snow.
