Sunny, mild and calm. Feels like spring, only its not...

Snowpack

New cold snow not liking the rapid warm up. Lots of rollers and sluffing from steep terrain on virtually all aspects and elevations. The attached pits show the story in the Brooklyns: strengthening slabs perched on deep weak layers. ECT propigation of entire upper snowpack with moderate force (ECTP 14 and 16). Surface hoar sits atop recent storm snow in many places and will need to be monitored with subsequent snowfall.
