Snowpack is a gong show and highly variable in depth, strength, and distribution.
Very shallow pack on the eastern front. Wind sheltered terrain offers a four finger slab on fist facets. In the wind zone, pockets of pencil and knife slab rest on fist facets. In either case.... not a good setup.
To add insult to our already shallow snowpack, recent winds have scoured the ridges down to bushes and dirt.
Creating an unevenly distributed slab, varying in depth and strength.
