Snowpack Summary
The flurries expected last night never materialized. According to our weather stations, there was no new snow. Despite that, the alpine ridges will still have windslabs in specific areas that are touchy to human triggering. There has not been a lot of change in the snowpack as a whole. The basic structure is a dense layer sitting in top of a rotten, weak base (the Nov 6th crust and/or the Nov 24th facets). The depth of the the Nov 6th varies from area to area, but generally it is down 70-90 at treeline.
