{"blocks":[{"key":"aufs5","text":"Thursday's storm dropped around 25 to 35 cm of snow across the region. The snow is consolidating into a slab that was reported to be touchy (e.g. in this MIN). The snow is likely gaining strength and starting to bond to underlying layers. The snow fell with strong to extreme south to southwest wind, which formed wind slabs in lee terrain features at treeline and alpine elevations.","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[{"offset":154,"length":3,"key":0}],"data":{}},{"key":"7o2uq","text":"","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}},{"key":"69hsm","text":"A weak layer of surface hoar crystals and/or faceted grains may be found around 100 cm deep on northerly aspects at treeline and lower alpine elevations. For some of the region, the layer may have been destroyed by strong wind immediately before burial on February 22nd, but it may still exist in sheltered terrain features in parts of the region. Where it is found, it has been reactive in snowpack tests. This persistent weak layer warrants investigation and a conservative terrain use strategy.
