Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p>Isolating a column yielded multiple easy shears within to top 50 cm or so and multiple density changes near the top of W Porter Fk. The storm snow was upside down, with the top 10 cm or so wet and heavy. It was foggy and visibility was limited , but we saw debris from multiple natural slides coming off the E side of the drainage piled up in places often ridden.</p>
