Today the current trends and predictions for future mountain snowpack in the west is on a negative trend. In comparison to year previous to 1950, the winter snowpack is melting

actually formed by glaciers, the evidence is a border climbing 900 feet above the surface of the water made of loose glacier debris, called moraines.
