Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p>PWL became more reactive today with specific WL in areas @ and above the TL. Two pits showed ECTP @ 12 and 16 at 30 to 35cm deep. </p> <p>Cornices and wind drifted snow steadily became a problem today with moderate to strong winds with very strong gusts and swirling winds anywhere above the treeline. We observed a natural triggered (cornice) avalanche on the east slope of Tower Mountain that appeared to be 250 to 300' wide x 100 to 150' vertical.</p>
