Snowpack

The snowpack in north Routt has increased in depth significantly the over the last week. Widespread whoomphing was heard this past Sunday with little to no collapsing heard today. A strong bridge layer is resting over large depth hoar facets. It lives nearly mid pack on slopes where it hasn't already failed and slid. This is my main concern. Large slides could still be out there with only more and more snow being suspended by this bridge with a river of depth hoar to flow on.
