Snowpack Summary
10 to 20 cm of new snow is expected by the end of the forecast period on Tuesday. This new snow overlies a melt-freeze crust, moist snow, or isothermal conditions, depending on aspect and elevation.
The snowpack has undergone multiple warming and cooling cycles, forming a series of crusts interspersed with dense, rounded grains.
