It's not easy for getting around but last year was pretty dry and we didn't have much of a snowpack. |
Each avalanche season has its own unique meteorological history and risk profile, as weather and temperature build layers in the snowpack. |
The next day, the bright Arizona sunshine was back in action, melting the snowpack in the Huachuca Mountains. |
The surface is mushy in places, icy and unyielding in others, and higher up there are rock chutes and faces protruding through the snowpack. |
The measure follows four years of severe drought and its lowest ever recorded winter snowpack. |
Yet abundant snowfall and a reliable snowpack are just about guaranteed in Callaghan Country. |
