Corbin

Today in Corbin, we found 10 cm of new snow settled over a supportive to snowmobile/boots crust. The upper snowpack consists of several layers of melt-freeze crust that isn't breaking down (becoming soft) at upper elevations. Below the melt-freeze crust complex, the middle of the snowpack is well consolidated. The facets in the lower snowpack are trending moist and consolidated. There were numerous wet loose avalanches on steep solar-facing slopes with clear skies and only a light southwest wind. The high cloud that formed in the afternoon was having a greenhouse effect, and we suspect avalanche activity will continue.
