- <p>The heat was on today but luckily damage was limited to east, south and west facing terrain.</p>
Although sluffing was widespread in steep north facing terrain yesterday as seen in the pic below, the second pic shows a WNW aspect at 40+ degrees in the center which held solid today.
Snowpack
- Instability Comment
- <p>Although wind has been mostly light in this area, there are a few wind slabs out there. I'm concerned with both new snow and old snow wind slabs and continue to maintain distance from and steep wind loaded slopes.</p> <p>With a foot of new medium to light snow spread out over 2 days my concern is limited to steep rocky terrain that has newly formed wind slabs which could then step down into a weak persistent layer.</p>
