Canaday BB and Fonda RW. 1974. The influence of subalpine snowbanks on vegetation patterns, production, and phenology. Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club. 101(6):340-350
From the Abstract: "This study of subalpine snowbanks in Olympic National Park, Washington, shows that there was a shorp gradient in the degree and type of microenvironmental modification resulting from the snowbank, primarily because of variation in time of snow release. Subalpine meadow communities were distributed according to tolerance to depth and duration of snowpack." Study was conducted primarily at Eagle Point.
