Snowpack Summary
A recent profile from 1400m elevation on a Northwest aspect in the Hankin area shows the height of snow to be about 155 cm.10-20cm of new snow now overlies heavily wind-affected surfaces at upper elevations and well developed surface hoar at mid-treeline and below. The mid and lower snowpack are found to be generally gaining strength with depth until the bottom 20-40cm where weak faceted crystals exist down to the ground.
