- <p>No red flags noted in my travels but for explosive work at the ski areas.</p>
Interface as noted in profile comprised of decomposing/fragmented stellars from the 'upside down' Monday storm roughly 6-7% density. Slab is the 60-70cm much higher density snow (initially 14% by Thurs eve).
ECTX. Should heal very soon. Last Sat/Sun snow surfaces weakened but mostly destroyed by sun, wind, clouds. Will still need to keep an eye on these old interfaces for another day or two; esp. where storm was more meager and old interfaces more protected.
Snowpack
Graupel, spatially variable 2mm rime crust and more dense snow. Skiied like a backcountry groomer. Note rime has been a player with this storm - warm air advection, northwest flow. Settled 60-80cm of heavy dense storm snow that seemed maritime in nature.
