Poor Snowpack Structure
Avalanche Problem #1
Problem
Persistent Weak Layer
Trend
Same
Problem #1 Comments
Not much going on with the snow pack at the moment, but the structure is weak and old October has grown sugary and unsupportable.
Comments
Conditions are still quite thin and grassy meadows and roads are the safest bet right now.
Some of the avalanche starting zones off the high ridge lines have filled in some and good to make a mental note of where this snow is. The Uintas need some bigger storms to get the season going.
