Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p>Had a few shallow wind slabs formed by today's winds. 4-6" deep, biggest was up to 50-60' wide and was down low on a subridge of a NE facing slope where it was getting cross loaded. Did not note much right off exposed ridgelines. There really isn't much to transport right along ridgelines as the southerlies are crusted, but there is snow available for crossloading on E facing. </p> <p>Winds kept these in check up mid to upper elevation southerlies. Did not a bit of greenhousing on sheltered N facing that did not have much wind to keep the cooler air circulating. </p>
