Location Name or Route
North Creek and Abajo Peak
Comments
Looking at the southeast face of Abajo peak. Lots of wind transport and little to no snow.
Wind deposited on Jackson ridge, likely from 12/15 wind event. Snow looked fairly thick along the ridge, perhaps as the trees on the north (right) side acted like a snow fence. Again, little to no snow in the south-facing start zones.
North Creek Pass. Not enough snow to present avalanche hazard, but this thin snowpack is likely faceting and will be a weak layer underneath future snow loads. Some wind loading can be observed in the upper right portion of the slope.
