Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p>While I want to say we are improving our snowpack; I think I'd be lying. The poor structure is not going anywhere. In my pit I found some moist slightly bonded facets and some pretty dry loose facets supporting a very hard cohesive slab. All you need is a trigger and a shallow spot like a buried pine or rock to tickle this dragon. </p>
