March snow assessment — Part 2

Following on from the last post, we'll now have a look at the raised tile. These photographs were taken on 23^rd March 2011 during the special site inspection by Tero Raita.


The raised tile. Drift snow has reached part of the tile, but the high winds have kept the top of it moderately clear. In the background, is the Saana mountain.

Looking southwards. Originally, the warning markers had been partially covered. Here they've been cleared and reset. The snow bank is on the north edge of the frame, which is the direction from which the wind generally approaches.
