Snow rolls

Snow rolls

15 Jan 2005 2 4 414
Near Lassen Peak National Park, California, off a cross-country ski trail. The outer layer of snow on the slope has peeled back under gravity to wrap around into a roll. These are pretty common in mountain country. They require a slope and an uppermost layer of snow that isn't well bonded to those below. Those are, of course, the same conditions that lead to avalanches!

Our oversized Sheltie we lost in November '08. He wasn't the brightest bulb on the porch, but he had a good heart.
