Show Wednesday, February 1, 1978 Page 13 I 5 if Snow Conditions Stable The Park City Resort reported snow depths of 104 inches at Jupiter and 52 inches in-ches at the Summit House on Monday. Last year's figure for February 1 at the Summit Sum-mit House was 26 inches with 7 inches of new snow. Snow depth indicators are situated behind the Summit House and to the west of the Jupiter patrol shack. At each location there is one measuring stick for total accumulation ac-cumulation and one for a measure of the accumulation ac-cumulation over a 24-hour period.

The Weather Service reported record high temperatures tem-peratures for the Salt Lake area during the month of December and said statewide temperatures for the month of January were well above the average. But there's more to snow conditions than just depth. 1 Avalanche director John Hale of the Park City Ski Patrol collects bi-monthly snow condition statistics for the Soil and Conservation Service of the U.S. Department Depar-tment of Agriculture. He measures snow depth with a snow densjty .JuJe and calibrates hw Jnount of water in the crystals per given section. Hale's calculations are used by the U.S.D.A. to predict spring run-off and the amount of water which will flow into reservoirs. Through his studies he is able to stay on top of potentially poten-tially hazardous snow conditions. con-ditions. Marginal Avalanche Danger Because there have been fewer clear days and nights and a deeper snowpack this season, snow conditions have been more stable than last year.

"This causes depth hoar crystals to grow and produces an extremely weak and poorly bonded layer next to the ground, promoting a high instability in the snowpack and a high avalanche danger." The relatively warm temperatures tem-peratures this year and the many overcast days have kept the temperature gradient minimal in the snowpack, according to the avalanche director. Air temperatures greatly affect the condition of the snowpack. On clear, cold days the snowpack radiates heat and on warm, cloudy days it absorbs heat. In a high t.g. condition, there is a vapor transport from one snow crystal to another. In an advanced stage of t.g. crystals are large and of a weak structure. There is a weak bond between the snowpack and the ground below. "At some point where there is enough weight in the snowpack to overcome one of the bonds either at the top, the bottom or on the sides the whole thing leaves as a slab avalanche," noted Hale.

Marsac principal prin-cipal Dr. Otis Falls lists math as the school's greatest curriculum concern. In the afternoon, school administrators, including Park City school superintendent superinten-dent Dr. Richard Goodwor-th, Goodwor-th, visited the new Morgan County elementary school to gather ideas for the proposed $1,600,000 Park City elementary school scheduled for completion in 1979. "The Morgan school is different dif-ferent than the typical," commented Goodworth. "It was built on a tight budget of $1,200,000 and classroom sizes are oblong rather than square." District administrators also plan to visit the Midway elementary school as well as several Salt Lake City elementary schools. A Gifted and Talented workshop was conducted by Joann Seghini and Beverly Lloyd of the Jordan School District at the Winters Mid dle School and Park City High School. The education specialists discussed - --"mainstreaming gifted students into a regular curriculum as well as ways to highlight all students' special abilities. They distributed lists of teaching materials and books to help administer the gifted program. In the afternoon the high school was visited by five specialists from the state board of education who discussed teaching objectives objec-tives and philosophies. The high school, which is subject to accreditation every ten years, will be accredited next year.
