Snowpack
The upper snowpack is unchanged over the past few days with the latest snow having been beat into a hard, sometimes breakable wind slab on the surface. This sits on a sandwich of sorts of wind slabs and newer snow that has fallen over the past week. All of this is on top of the dirt layer that preceded this period of unsettled weather. There are weakness present below the dirt layer and in places right above it. Also, in between the different wind slabs above the dust there are clean shears.
