Snowpack
Full now profile at Bow Summit study plot. Done with our friends the visiting avalanche forecasters from Norway and drafted using the Norwegian snow profile system (RegObs). Interesting to see snow profile data presented in different formats. Unfortunately, the format may be different, but the snowpack is the same - facets from top to bottom with a very weak base and repeated snowpack tests showing sudden failures 40 cm above the ground (on depth hoar).
