In sheltered areas you can still find pockets of low density snow. </span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">A crust and in some places surface hoar can be found down 50 cm below the surface. Approximately 80-120 cm below the surface is a layer of sugary facets sitting on a crust that continues to be reactive in snowpack tests, especially on north aspects. This layer seems to be more reactive in the North Shore Mountains. The problem is not typical for the region and we expect this persistent layer to linger into the future. </span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">The lower snowpack is generally 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.
