Snowpack Summary
The warm temps and strong winds are creating widespread windslabs in the alpine and specific areas at treeline. These slabs are 20-30cm thick and failing on weak facets and/or the December 15th interface. The November crusts are still deeper down in the snowpack but they are facetting out more and more each day and have yet to produce a significant sheer during snowpack tests.Â
