Signs of Unstable Snow

None reported

Observations

Hill had 1-2’ of snow from the last 48 hours. It was on a sun crust layer. It slid and cleaned the hill off about 40 yards up. It stopped at the bottom. It didn’t go to the trees below the hill. I think anything that got sun last Monday will be a concern after this current April first storm.
