Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p>Steeper sunny aspects in the area may be prone to wet avalanches in the next few days. </p> <p>Above knob 7880 to the ridgeline there is evidence of sensitive-looking cross-loaded wind slabs from yesterday's NE wind.</p>

Although the air temperatures remained below 32 F, solar radiation penetrating the fog warmed the surface layers of the snow, making the powder feel sticky and upside down.
