</style><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">The recent storm snow has been redistributed by moderate to strong northerly winds in the alpine and exposed treeline areas, creating both hard and soft wind slabs in lee areas and scouring windward areas. Soft unconsolidated snow can still be found in sheltered areas at treeline and below.</span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">The southern part of the region has seen impressive storm snow totals (90-150cm) in the past seven days, compared to northern areas of the region, which received 25-35cm. This new snow sits on crusts of variable thickness that formed on almost all aspects in mid-December (December 15th layer). On steep southerly aspects this crust is supportive, whereas on northerly aspects it is quite thin and variable. </span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">Beneath the December 15th layer the snowpack is well settled. The late November rain crust is now buried 50-80 cm in the northern part of the region and well over 1 m in the south. </span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">Great conditions reports from the north of the region are posted on the Mountain Information Network (MIN) </span><a id='GoToAdded' href="http://www.avalanche.ca/map?panel=mountain-conditions-reports/1606" target="_blank"><span class="s_B5813F7D">here</span></a><span class="s_3FE45715">, as well as from the southern part of the region, </span><a id='GoToAdded' href="http://www.avalanche.ca/map?panel=mountain-conditions-reports/1563" target="_blank"><span class="s_B5813F7D">here</span></a><span class="s_3FE45715">, </span><a id='GoToAdded' href="http://www.avalanche.ca/map?panel=mountain-information-network-submissions/a62c713a-4c03-4bbc-8097-717c7b783b78" target="_blank"><span class="s_B5813F7D">and here.</span></a><span class="s_AA239A9B" /></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715"> </span></p>
