Snowpack Summary
Generally light accumulations overlie a variety of surfaces which include: wind slab at higher elevations, settled storm snow or spotty surface hoar in more sheltered terrain, and a crust on previously sun-exposed slopes. A variable interface buried on Jan 23 is down about 20-40cm. In most locations it appears to be well bonded; however, buried surface hoar (up to 20mm) has been found in isolated parts of the North Elk valley. This will be something to watch as the overlying slab develops. The lower snowpack is generally well-settled.
