- <p>New snow, wind slab, and weak snow near the ground... three distinct layers with very clean shears shown in this picture.</p> <p>No surprise here. Weak October snow near the ground is our current problem child</p> <p>A closer look</p> <p>We easily avoided the dragon by exiting on a sunny slope that had hardly any old snow prior to the weeks big storm. No October snow.... no problem!</p>
Light density snow not enough to tip the balance at most locations.
