Snowpack

There were wet slides that had occurred on every aspect on steep slopes below cliff bands and rocky outcroppings. When we got back to the parking lot a shallow slab had released across the highway on the south facing slope. It slid on the dust layer from prior to the last storm. The snowpack above timber line was a perfect spring snowpack that made for great skiing.
