Snowpack Summary

About 10cm of new snow covers a crust that formed on almost all aspects: the exception being shaded north aspects at upper elevations, where the old snow surface consisted of dry, sugary snow.Lower down, the snowpack is well settled and overlies the late November rain crust, now 20-50 cm deep. Snowpack tests in the Duffey Lake area produced hard, sudden test results associated with this layer. Treeline snow depths are approximately 1 m throughout the region.
