Avalanche Summary

No avalanches have been reported in the last 3 days. Wind slabs may still be triggerable by a rider in isolated areas.

Snowpack Summary

Alpine surfaces are heavily wind-affected, but soft snow can still be found in wind-sheltered terrain. Check out this White Pass MIN for more.

A spotty layer of surface hoar may sit below recent snow, buried around 20 to 30 cm deep. Below 1500 m, a thick melt-freeze crust is buried 50-100 cm deep.
