Snowpack Summary
Up to 25cm's have fallen in last 48-36 hours. Moderate westerly winds in the alpine and treeline elevations have created new windslabs on any easterly aspect. Expect them to be reactive in deeper, wind prone areas. The winds preceded the storm, so there is a chance the new slabs could be on top of an older crust. How the Oct 26th crust reacts to the new load remains to be seen as visibility was limited today. We may be just starting the human triggered part of the settlement cycle.
