Problem #1 Comments
Snowpack is generally moist to ground at all elevations in this area. Below about 9500' there is evidence of rain on snow. Warm temps and wind are consolidating the upper snowpack and creating opportunities for many collapses whist travelling on northern half of compass. Very little snow on south aspects, what snow is available does not feature DH where observed.
