Snowpack

Snowpack: It would be very hard to find a slope with enough snow to produce an avalanche in this area. Maybe a small drift in the alpine. Below treeline, there is sufficient coverage on northwest to northeast aspects for fairly continuous weak layer formation. Other aspects are generally too patchy or bare. Above and some near treeline slopes have continuous coverage on east aspects and some windloaded southeast features as well. See https://cbavalanchecenter.org/brown-pow-in-west-brush/ for all photos.
