Snowpack

HS 25"; full snowpack coverage on the south side but thin @ 6" of facets; north side snowpack 4F facets on the ground; fist facets in midpack and surface. A major 2 day storm with 2 feet of new snow is likely to cause failure of the existing snowpack with small avalanches of 2 feet on centerline on the south side and 4 feet on the north side in the Tower area.
