Snowpack Structure
In high altitudes small amounts of snowdrift accumulations have formed which partially are on top of faceted snow which can be considered as weak layers in rare cases. The snow surface will get wet, especially on sunny slopes. Blown-off areas are hard and icy. The kinetic metamorphosis weakens the snow base on shady slopes. In general usual low amount of snow.
