Snowpack Summary
A variable snow surface generally includes up to 5 cm of soft snow on a supportive crust with surface hoar or surface facets, breaking down to corn snow on all but high north aspects with daytime warming and sun-exposure. Wind slabs may be found in the alpine, or lower in glaciated drainages from katabatic winds. But in general, the snowpack is strong.
