Snowpack
- Instability Comment
- <p>The deepest wind slab I found was only 3-4 inches and stubborn. There is just not any new snow up there to blow around.</p> <p>this is the greater danger down below 7000ft. Above the boot tops by 1pm. </p>
Even at 8000ft in the Ben Lomond area there was only 1-2 inches of new snow. The base under this ranges from break-able to boiler plate to a nice soft base, and the turning was a variable as well.
