Snowpack Summary
The recent storm snow is settling, with various layers within it that are resistant when they fail with moderate force. Both the Mar 13 (down ~50cm) and the Mar 2 (down ~1m) crust/surface hoar layers are becoming patchy but reactive in snowpack tests where they exist. The Feb 10-Jan22 layers are down 1.5-2m and continue to show step down potential.
Avalanche Summary
Natural activity in the highway corridor has tapered off with cloud cover. A size 2 natural avalanche was reported from the Hospital Knob area of Connaught.
