Comments
Bow Summit: Snowpack test at 2223m, 11:00am, 3degrees, partly cloudy, on North-Facing slopes. Pencil crust, settled snowpack with large grains of snow.
Moist under crust. Upper crust breaking and cracking under feet. By 1:00 saw evidence of many new wet loose slides on steeper slopes, and witnessed several from afar.
