Snowpack

The total snowpack depth is still very thin in this area, 100 centimeters on average. Widespread cracking, collapsing and slope-scale whumpfing is found on most aspects near and above treeline. Extended Column Tests on east-facing slopes above treeline produce easy to moderate propagating results about 40 cm from the ground on 3-5 mm depth hoar.
