Poor Snowpack Structure

30 cm of facets near the ground in areas with HS ranging from 110 to 180 cm. Biggest concern is the New PWL in Town. Activity noted since Saturday at the New Snow/Old Snow Interface has now transitioned from Storm Slab to Persistent Slab. Though it is only 10 to 20 cm deep, this will be a layer to keep an eye on when we get more load. It's distribution is only in Specific locations, and these are NNW, N and NNE protected terrain from any wind scouring, and the slope angles need to be 25 degrees and greater. It appears to be a result of the Melt Layer Recrystallization process. When the new snow came in it landed on a warm snow pack and the initial couple of millimeters bonded to the old surface, but above that the light density snow became the reactive layer that has been identified in many locations as an easy shear with some avalanche activity reported. Small grain facets were observed today in this layer with clean/easy shears still being reactive. Again, the overriding slab is only 10 to 20 cm at this point, but in the above cited Specific areas this issue may persist and these facets will likely continue to develop with the wide temperature swings we are experiencing. Just something to keep an eye on.
