June Lake BC

Today I set out to observe the wet loose activity and check in on the persistent weak layers at the base of our snowpack in the June area. 

Wet Loose: Specifically, with SW winds, but also a greenhousing effect, I wanted more info on how northerly slopes above treeline would hold up today.  With flat light, it was a bit hard to see all of the activity. I found small sluffs, rollerballs,  and some small (D1) slides on all aspects up to 11000'. See avalanches for more info.

• Snow was wet to moist to dry on northerly aspects @ 9600'. Ski pen was 15  cm @ 1 pm. Boot pen was 45 cm. 
• Below 8500', the whole snowpack is wet on northerlies. Ski pen was 50 cm. Boot pen was up to 90 cm @ 3:30 pm. 

Persistent Weak Layers: I observed many crowns that had yet to be observed or submitted to us. P slabs, all elevations, E - N. Likely ran 2/13 - 2/15. Multiple D2 below treeline. Dry depth hoar is still present under a melt freeze crust, under a ~ 60 - 90 cm of a 1F to P hard slab. The dry depth hoar was broken up by ground anchors where I dug (NE, NTL, 9600'). 

I observed many small wet loose sluffs and small slides today on all aspects up to 10500'. I saw many point releases coming off of cliffs in near and above treeline terrain.
