Snowpack Summary
2cms of snow fell with minimal wind in the Smithers area on friday night. For the most part the new snow is on some sort of hard crust or wind-sculpted snow, which probably has surface hoar growing on it and facets forming beneath it. The mid and lower snowpack are generally quite strong. There may have been more new snow and wind to the west, but data streams are extremely sparse.
