Cooke City Snowpack Layering

Cooke City Snowpack Layering

Before this storm there was a little over two feet of snow on the ground.  A layer of facets below the ice crust and newly formed surface hoar are our likely concerns in regards to weak layers.  With another foot added in the last 36 hours these layers may be unstable in areas of wind deposition.
