The storm that moved through Tuesday Oct 10th, left 6 to 14" of snow in the mountains. This snow has been becoming weak on the higher, shady slopes through a process called "near surface faceting". This weak snow that is forming could act as a persistent weak layer once it gets buried by the next significant snow storm. We will continue to monitor the snow on the ground and keep an eye on how weak it becomes and how wide spread the weakness is.
