The early portion of the 2022-23 winter season has been a whirlwind! Tune in as Ben from the Sawtooth Avalanche Center describes how the fall weather shaped the base of the snowpack and how the snowpack reacted once loaded with major storms. Have you ever wondered about how weak layers form in the snowpack? Ben touches on both weak layer formation and slab formation, and then gives an account of the storm that produced EXTREME Avalanche Danger on December 11th, 2022. You'll see interesting videos and beautiful photos of avalanches, and you'll get a better understanding of how a snowpack develops. Sounds great!
