- We are uncertain about how the snowpack will react to the forecast weather.
Avalanche Summary
No new avalanches have been observed in the past couple days but observations are limited this time of year in the region.
Snowpack Summary
The snow surface will likely be moist or wet on all aspects and elevations as a result of elevated freezing levels Saturday night and further warming and solar input during the day on Sunday.
A thick crust can be found down 10 to 30 cm at treeline and above. The snowpack below this crust is well settled and strong.
At low elevations the snowpack is disappearing quickly. Where snow remains it is isothermal.
