Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p>The only wind-affected snow we observed was on/near ridge lines above 9300'. Most of the storm snow had been stripped off of east aspects and deposited on west. We experienced some cracking and one whumph that collapsed an area roughly 10' in diameter, with the wind slab in this area being 4-6" deep. When we were there midday winds were calm to light from the west/northwest.</p>
