Comments
The snowpack is warming and healing. Faceted layers are noticeably wet and rounding. A persistent weak layer is lurking though hard to trigger, the results of triggering an avalanche that could step down the PWL would be catastrophic. It was interesting to observe the temperature gradient was -0.2 throughout the entire snowpack indicating a lot of warmth and rounding happening.
