{"blocks":[{"key":"dh4di","text":"Snow quality has been at a premium this week (see this MIN report from the Mt Becher area on Tuesday), and the region picked up another 5-15 cm of light snow on Wednesday. Winds have varied in speed and direction with an ample supply of light, cold snow for transport. On Wednesday, observers reported active wind transport at ridgetops in this MIN report in the Mt Brooks area. This has likely created sensitive wind slabs on a wide range of aspects in wind-exposed areas.

Small facets (sugary snow) have been reported near these crusts that may transition into a persistent slab problem. Recent snowpack tests have demonstrated instability at this interface, though with limited propagation potential. This layer could have potential to be triggered in shallow, rocky zones near ridge tops, where the facets are more developed and where the crust layers are more accessible to the weight of a person or machine.
