Snow Characteristics Comments

Last weekend's storm produced as much as 4" in the Bloomington Canyon Area, on top of approximately 17" of recrystalized pow (Facets). There are two melt-freeze crusts deeper in the snowpack on top of a boiler plate layer close to the ground.

Red Flags

Poor Snowpack Structure

Red Flags Comments

A generally cold, shallow snowpack riddled with facets will produce problems if we have new substantial accumulation.
