Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Winds were definitely more robust than I expected and had no problem stripping the light density snow from wind exposed ridges and forming drifts in unusual places. While not widespread and pockety in nature, freshly formed slabs were sensitive to my additional weight.</p> <p>I feel that the water weight from the past week isn't enough to tip the scales.</p>

 

 

 

Mixed bag with some wind damge and general funk in upper elevation terrain above treeline... but the trees are frosted and stare worthy.
