Approach
Develop mitigation measures and strategies to compensate for loss of snowpack location and duration.
Tactics
- Reduce impacts from winter recreation as recreation is concentrated into smaller areas.
- Maintain thermal and security refugia.
- Utilize methods that retain snowpack and associated moisture; utilize tree retention to slow the loss of snow; retain snowmelt by restoring meadows and wetlands.
