Good Morning! This is Eastern Sierra avalanche advisory for March 25th. 2005

Snow pack:

The snow pack has been loaded the past few days with recent snow and wind 
deposition. The winds were primarily from the south then have shifted coming 
from the north. Estimated strong ridge top winds picking up again. We can 
expect some slab formation on leeward aspects.  I have had some reports of 
the old crust layer buried about four down still being a reactive layer. The 
Bishop area is expecting some warmer temperatures we should watch for the 
snow warming up and paying attention to snow rollers and other surface 
instabilities.
