Snowpack

Instability Comment
<p>Tonight's and tomorrow's heavy new snow will continue to overload slopes with poor snow structure.</p> <p>The danger of wet avalanches will increase as rain saturates the snow, especially in steep mid-elevation terrain. Both wet loose and wet slab avalanches are increasingly possible as rain saturates the snow.</p>

Not really powder.  More like mashed potatoes.
