Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p>Wind affect noted along the terrain from north Ogden Divide to Ben Lomond. One can see wind features along the Ben Lomond headwall. These drifts we found welded-in and non-reactive. </p> <p>9600' NE snow profile showed 150cm depth with 20cm of 4F+/1F- rounding facets at the base. Right side up to the surface. 40cm of pencil+ snow above the basal facets. Unreactive. </p> <p>Spoke with Snowbasin snowsafety. They had not seen any avalanches on this layering either with explosives or with nearly 8"SWE since Thanksgiving.</p> <p>Photos: profile beneath BL summit; rounding facets courtesy DougWewer (desertsnow images)</p> <p></p>
