Video: State of the Snowpack for the Week of January 4

Warming temperatures and rain events over the holidays followed by high winds and consistent snowfall has made for a fascinating snowpack. In this week’s State of the Snowpack, Sarah Carpenter, co-founder of American Avalanche Institute (AAI), provides a deep dive of how the snow has morphed since November and what to keep on our radar as we plan our backcountry adventures this week.

Thanks to Headwall Sports for sponsoring and hosting another season of State of the Snowpack. These free events are scheduled every other week throughout the winter. The video is filmed by Orijin Media, and brought to you by the TCSAR Foundation. Learn more at BackcountryZero.com.
