Snowpack Summary

Not much is changing out there right now.  Warm temps are promoting settlement within the snowpack and overall strengthening long term.  The 1106Cr is down 80cm and the 1124FC interface is down 60cm.  Both are producing moderate sheers that are becomming more resistant planar in nature.
