Snowpack
The new snow is falling on a variety of surfaces from melt-freeze crusts to settled powder to faceted snow. See profile dug on S aspect BLT showing a strong slab/crust combination overlying well preserved depth hoar and a potentially reactive surface weakness given tonight's expected load. No signs of instability today in our operation.
