Scotch Bonnet Snowpit Profile

Scotch Bonnet Snowpit Profile

 This snowpit was dug in an area that produced clean, propagating shears December 21.  Now things are looking much better.  There are no layers in this snowpack that concern me.  The only stability issues are on slopes with a recent wind-load.  Check out the next photo "lulu pass wind slab" to see what we mean.  Photo: GNFAC
