The distribution of these layers is variable, but they follow a similar pattern to the layer discussed above. The upper layer from late December, down about 70-120 cm, consists of spotty surface hoar at shaded treeline and below treeline elevations. The lower layer from early December buried 120-190 cm deep consists of a combination of decomposing surface hoar with a crust and faceted snow. Snowpack tests on these layers show increasingly resistant results. The lower layer is now largely unreactive, but remains a prominent snowpack feature.","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[{"offset":457,"length":12,"key":3}],"data":{}}],"entityMap":{"0":{"type":"LINK","mutability":"MUTABLE","data":{"href":"https://www.avalanche.ca/glossary#surface-hoar","target":"_blank","url":"https://www.avalanche.ca/glossary#surface-hoar"}},"1":{"type":"LINK","mutability":"MUTABLE","data":{"url":"https://www.avalanche.ca/mountain-information-network/submissions/6469033f-b5ff-45bf-8381-f6eaba4aeef5"}},"2":{"type":"LINK","mutability":"MUTABLE","data":{"url":"https://www.avalanche.ca/mountain-information-network/submissions/c5773aba-6278-411a-9fc9-9db67584f284"}},"3":{"type":"LINK","mutability":"MUTABLE","data":{"href":"https://www.avalanche.ca/glossary#faceted-snow","target":"_blank","url":"https://www.avalanche.ca/glossary#faceted-snow"}}}}
