Snowpack
- Instability Comment
- <p>Wind slabs from recent storm under unaffected storm snow from the end of Tuesday's event. Widespread on wind-loaded or cross-loaded locations. Poor snow pack structure, fair strength, energy in the Q1/Q2 arena. </p>
8" was from Tuesday's 12/18 storm. Wind affected on ridge lines. Good powder in sheltered locations.
