Sunny, warm, and eroding winds blowing snow onto Southeast slopes.
Snowpack
On North and East aspects, the snowpack is still cold and made up of winter-esque structures. The average depth is around 3 feet but varies across sheltered and exposed terrain features. One drifted slope measured almost 6 feet and was a very firm slab through the upper 4 feet sitting over softer, weaker facets near the ground. On Southerly aspects, meltwater has pooled and refrozen in a few layers in upper portions of the snowpack and measured 3 feet in the deepest spots with mature facets near the ground. This week's dramatic warm-up should force meltwater to the ground on southerly snow-covered slopes. Potentially see melt water creeping through upper layers on north aspects.
