Snowpack Discussion
The snow surface likely consists of a mix of hard melt-freeze crust and dry snow depending on aspect and elevation. Sun-exposed slopes may undergo daily melting and freezing whereas northerly alpine slopes could remain dry with potential slabs.
Above around 2000 m, weak faceted grains associated with hard melt-freeze crusts may be found in the middle and bottom of the snowpack. There is potential for these layers to reawaken under periods of intense or prolonged warming or rain.
