Snowpack
The current surface is our most pronounced and widespread weak layer to date. There is continuous snow coverage across most West to North to East aspects at all elevations. The southern quadrant has patchier coverage above treeline and is mostly melted off below treeline. Below treeline, snow depth averages about 10 inches in the shade. The snowpack is .5-.7mm developing facets on steep northerlies, with large surface hoar in open areas below treeline. On southerlies and flat terrain, the snowpack was wet grains throughout, with no obvious weak layer development.
