Snowpack
- Instability Comment
- <p>pretty quiet pack, tired looking, but you could still find a pocket or two that could collapse, thinner pack areas, but just about every aspect and slope has been center-punched by machines, even in areas I did not think they could get. Snow is supportable and even with wind crusts, climb what you want. </p> <p>shallow areas exist in this terrain much like the Skyline, one minute you are on a wind slab, next 6" of rotten snow, then thin to thick wind slab, so while thicker areas hold strong snowpack, weak snow still exists, and when buried could be trigger. </p>
Every type of snow surface you can imagine from sastrugi, hard slab, breakable wind and sun crusts, and creamy settled snow in the sheltered N facing trees. Most of this terrain is exposed and open
