Do not let the warm "spring like" conditions fool you. There is a very dangerous PWL that sits under heavy and dense snow.
Snowpack
- Instability Comment
- <p>The Dry January PWL is still very weak and sits under 90cm of snow. It is still relatively reactive, especially if there is an area that has a thin snowpack or a "trigger point."</p> <p>It was 42 degrees on the PC Ridgeline and the snow got heavy. I think a we slide could have enough energy to step down in the the PWL and create a large avalanche. </p>
