Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p>ECTP17@35</p> <p>PST32/100End 35</p> <p> </p> <p>I was shocked when I saw the failure on 17 compressions. I was under the impression from being in the Wasatch that the PWL was healing just a bit. I've seen numerous ECTXs. Not the case in the much shallower snowpack of the Uintas. If we get this storm load like predicted I think the Uintas are in for a big avalanche cycle.</p>
