</style><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">In exposed areas the upper snowpack has been highly wind affected and stiff supportive wind slabs exist. In sheltered areas you can still find pockets of low density snow. </span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">Below the surface a crust/ graupel and in some places surface hoar layer can be found down 50 cm. These layers have not been producing conclusive test results. More concerning is the deeper interface down 80-120 cm which is a crust/ facet combination and still producing moderate sudden collapse snowpack test results. The bond of the upper snowpack on this layer is weaker on north aspects and triggering a large avalanche on this interface with the weight of a person is possible at treeline.</span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">The reactivity of this layer appears to be worse in the North Shore Mountains. The problem is not typical for the region and we expect this persistent layer to linger into the future. The lower snowpack is settled and strong.</span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">Please check out these MIN reports for more snowpack information:</span><span class="s_AA239A9B"><br /></span><a href="https://www.avalanche.ca/map/forecasts/south-coast?panel=mountain-information-network-submissions/66b62e51-81a9-4e62-97f8-0c84afd48983" target="_blank"><span class="s_B5813F7D">Diggin' Mt.
