Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Shallow slabs feel well adjusted and happy in their own skin, unless we get some water and wind.</p> <p> </p> <p>Large cornices have the potential to break further back than you might think.</p> <p>It's been a week since we've seen any slides breaking to weak snow near the ground and it feels like the snowpack is becoming warm and homogenous</p>

Damp, surfy, spongy surface snow.... skis fast and fun.
