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 layer can be found down 50 cm and is starting to slowly bond to the upper snowpack. The deeper interface down 80-120 cm 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 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. This deeper weak layer has produced large natural and human-triggered avalanches over the past week. </span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">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.
