Weather and Snow

We don't have very much information about the current snowpack. The recent storm has added 6 to 12 inches or more of snow above 9000 feet. Increasing north winds are most likely drifting this snow around which is probably forming some sensitive drifts. This new snow may be landing on weaker snow near the ground which would make things more sensitive and increase the avalanche danger.
