Snowpack
- Instability Comment
- <p>The old faceted snow is down there but not moving with test slopes but does with ECT again at 20 wacks with good propagation at 8000 ft. Not sure how to tell when it slide other than staying off of steep slopes. </p> <p>see above</p>
I found good turning on soft settled powder on the North protected slopes. The snow pack is very weak down low in the protected areas. I found surface hoar forming in the drainages as well. I could push a pole down to almost the ground at 7000 ft. Up higher there is a bunch of wind slab on the open slopes. It seems that if both the low elevation weak snow got together with the higher elevation slabs it would be a rocky marriage! I think the new snow may be more of a problem at low and mid elevations depending how it comes in.
