Snowpack

On west aspects below treeline, recent windslabs below treeline are getting stiffer from crossloading winds but remain sensitive to ski cuts, although propagation remains small and skier triggered sizes were R1D1. South facing aspects at and below treeline generally hold thin, unreactive windslabs or are stripped of the recent storm snow.
