Snowpack

Snow depths vary in the 30 to 40-inch (80-95cm) range near Tyrell and Four Corners area. The snowpack lacks cohesion with densities in the Fist to 4 finger harness in most areas. Snow depts are more variable in areas exposed to the wind. I would suspect wind hardened slabs along more exposed ridgelines.
