Snowpack Summary

Temperatures have been unseasonably warm, leading to moist surface snow on sunny aspects which can become unstable during the heat of the day. Where a re-freeze has occurred, a crust now exists. Recent storm snow appears to bonding well. A facet layer which formed in mid-January has gained strength. It showed hard, resistant planar results in a compression test at treeline in the Hankin area on Sunday.
