The sun is packing a punch right now. Be cautious of terrain above that is basking in the sun. Cornices also deserve a wide berth. MM

Snowpack Summary

a few cm's of new snow at all elevations. Alpine had 20-30 cms of storm snow that is waiting for redistribution by the winds. Shallow areas in alpine rotting out near ground, depth hoar developing. Caution in thin areas. At TL, a variety of windslabs are out there. Generally these are well bonded, but steep convex rolls & thin areas are potential trouble spots. BTL snowpack is heavily facetted and structure less.
