Snowpack
- Instability Comment
- <p>Could see the potential for this problem today, but was not directly observed in terrain visited, which included Mary Ellen, Silver Creek, Major Evans, and Mineral Basin. Tomorrow's high temps will likely bring the issue to the forefront yet again. Cornices visaily deformed on ridgelines and dramatically curled over on themselves. These may begin to calve off in certain locations with intense solar on the roots. From Silver Spur it was possible to see some wet slides in Pika Cirque on Timp, but difficult to tell how old.</p>
Spring diurnal cycle in full effect. The snow that fell on Tuesday has settled dramatically, and still provides some soft, albeit warm creamy conditions in the highest elevations on due north facing slopes. The corn cycle on solar aspects is beginning to take root and the harvest is on.- At least by Wasatch standards.
