Small facets are now buried and a problem

Small facets are now buried and a problem

The 40cm of new snow is now capping the 5cm thick layer of small grained facets.  The stripe in the pit wall is where the facets are located. CT12/ECTP14 on this layer.  More snow will likely create natural avalanches. This pit was dug above Hebgen Lake, but the snow structure is similar to most of our area. Photo: GNFAC
