Snowpack Summary

The snowpack is isothermal at treeline and below on all aspects (and into the alpine on solar) - the upper snowpack in these areas has undergone multiple melt-freeze cycles, a strong crust in the morning will weaken with solar imput/daytime warming. On north facing alpine slopes up to 15cm of settled storm snow overlies previous old dry surfaces.
