Improved Stability on Carson Pass

Snowpit dug adjacent to previous observation from last week (March 6) at the site of a fractured slope.  Snowpit data today showed a more settled snowpack with the buried facet layer condensed, moist and cohesive.  Snowpack tests were consistently pointing towards more stable results indicating propagation is not likely on the buried facet layer. 

Warm temperatures with mostly clear skies and calm winds at Carson Pass.  Mid level cloud cover area wide throughout the morning with some clearing into the afternoon.  Clouds did persist from Homewood south through South Lake Tahoe into the early afternoon from 7000' to 8000'.
