Variability is the spice of the Pass

northrockiesfieldteam, Saturday 20th March, 2021 9:00PM
<p>Today was a combination of investigating multiple slopes and aspects and looking for the variability in the snowpack. We found windward slopes were shallow, snowpack 100cm-120cm the base of the snowpack had 50-60cm of large sugary facets. Lee ward slopes are showing signs of developing wind slabs, This wind slab produced a machine accidental by a party in the area. This variability could wake up or stay dormant. Keep an eye on the bulletin watch for shooting cracks and be wary of shallow rocky transitions.</p>
