Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p>There are and will be more slabs of wind drifted snow easy to trigger. We triggered a <a href="https://utahavalanchecenter.org/avalanche/77629">very small wind slab</a> on a very small rollover. </p> <p>There are 10+ inches of water in new-ish snow resting on a few different ice crusts that have some weak snow next to them. These layers are gaining strength but they are getting a ton of stress. I'm not sure if I'd call these a PWL becuase they arent' persistent. They are only a problem while they are getting stressed by the unreal snowfall lately. </p>
