Front Range

Snowpack

On E-S BTL, the mid-pack is getting stronger, but the bottom of the pack remains weak. At the bottom of the pack, there is a weak 4F FC. A supportive, strong P hard mid-pack layer above the basal layer. This mid-pack layer is 2-10” thick depends on location. About 2-4” of new snow is sitting at the top of the pack. NTL on NW-N-E-S, the mid pack layer is thicker than on lower elevations. There is a 4-6” thick, 4F+ storm slab development on top of soft F hard DF on lee slopes and around terrain features. The new storm slab was unreactive to ski cut. See snowpit on SE aspect ~100’ blow ridgeline for more details.
