<p>Wind is transporting the snowpack and loading a weak sub-layer several inches deep.</p>

Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p>New snow on top of rotten old snow. While no major slides were observed, snowmobile use has demonstrated potential for slides on a smaller scale. As an unsettled weather pattern will deposit snow over the next few days look for the snowpack to become increasingly unstable.</p> <p>Winds out of the south. With the new snow and accompanying winds, expect loading to occur on ridges in North Creek Canyon.</p>

New Snow is moderately dense on a 6 week old layer of old snowpack.
