Comments

Can be a complex snow pack with a January 13 crust that is widespread up to a certain elevation (1900). Above is storm and wind slabs still shallow (probing up to 250 high ALP) with crusts and facets below. Above 0 degrees warming weakens cornices and would be a caution for deeper instabilities.
