Snow Pack for March 28, 2007

Wednesday, March 28, 2007

By Brigid Mander

Hitting the snow at the right time
Aside from our snow pack melting at an abominable rate, not a lot is happening. The snow is disappearing rapidly from the lower elevations, and the paths to most backcountry excursions include plenty of mud and bushwhacking.

Up at the higher elevations, though, the melt-freeze cycle has kept the snow solid. When it is still frozen, it is very stable. We have not observed much wet slide activity in our travels nor has much been observed after the snow heats up and melts later in the day. It seems the giant waterfalls of snow, point releases, and wet slides have calmed down for now, despite the heat of mid-day.

Great corn snow can be found everyday – you just have to strike a balance between arriving at the top before it gets too warm and just when the snow turns to corn.  Usual spring protocol to be aware of rising avalanche danger as the day progresses and warms up still applies. There isn’t much time left, it appears, so get out and get your goggle tan while you can.
