I'm glad I'm not the only one to enjoy the nerdy stuff. These videos are meant to be a "current conditions" report for the North Shore Mountains rather than a general snow science forum. I will sometimes dig into a bit of science when it seems relevant to understand the conditions. My goal is to give people a starting point in addition to the AvCan bulletin to help them in their own assessment as they head out during the weekend. As for the stress on the snow crystals, chapter 4 of the Avalanche Handbook by McLung and Schaerer does a far better job of that than I ever will.
The North Shore Mountains are located along the north shore of Burrard Inlet near the city of Vancouver BC, Canada. They extend from Indian Arm to the east, to the Salish Sea to the west and up to the head of Howe Sound to the north.
Very creative. Love the props and pompoms 🤪 Great soundtrack, too.
Excellent explanation.

Great simplified summery AJ. Well explained.
Amazing explanation!

Snow crystal experience 3 type of stress, tensile, shear and compression. Can you go over these on your next video.
