Snowpack

BTL the snowpack is completely faceted, with a thin wind-skin in open areas. NTL and ATL, snow is confined to wind-loaded terrain features. HS varies considerably and snow cover is discontinuous. Two snowmobile riders were seen high-marking a steep, wind-loaded bowl in adjacent terrain with no avalanche activity.
