Snowpack Summary
The recent storm snow continues to settle. Some windslabs were observed in Alpine areas up to 25cm thick but these were not that widespread at this time. The Dec 15th interface is down 30-40cm but a lack of a cohesive slab is preventing widespread activity on this layer. The key thing to be aware of is the windslabs that are developing and the potential for triggering as you move into more wind affected areas.
