Snowpack Summary
Surface hoar is definetly growing on all aspects and in all elevations right now. We still have concerns about windslabs along ridgelines and in immediate lees on all aspects in alpine terrain. These slabs do not extend far down slope but they should be expected at higher elevations. The nov 24th interface as well as the Nov 12th interface are still producing mixed results. Be sure to dig down and evaluate this interface before you commit to a feature.
