Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p>Wind transport filling in old tracks on east aspects above 9500' and building cornice along pink pine ridge and upper white pine. No evidence of slabs releasing under skiers today.</p>

Near surface facets on sheltered north facing terrain. 1 cm crust 2 cm down on north facing terrain up to 10000'.  Recent wind slab and on east aspects along ridgelines above 9500'. Winds kept sunny aspects from progressing from damp to wet. Will see how near surface facets react to load sunday but looks to be a fairly widespread weak layer.
