Snowpack Discussion
Unconsolidated snow, 15 to 30 cm, overlies a series of crusts in most areas. In exposed areas, it covers old wind slab.
At treeline, the height of snow ranges from approximately 50 to 90 cm. Below this elevation, snow height decreases drastically.
The snowpack at all elevations is very shallow and contains many potential hazards just beneath the surface.
