The snowpack above the basal facets is stout up high. There is a weak layer within the new snowpack about 45 cm below the surface, however, it is stubborn to slide off block. This was the only weak layer I could identify in the upper snowpack, so along with our deep PWL, that will be the one to keep an eye on as more snow is loaded on top. I discovered a nasty narrow slide the pull the entire snowpack off a rocky rollover during the last cycle on the 17th.

Snow is super dense and supportive.  Go anywhere conditions.
