Avalanche Summary

No new activity in the past 24hrs.

Snowpack Summary

5-15cm new snow with the deeper areas being in the eastern region (Hwy 40).  Windslabs being found in Alpine terrain along ridgelines and in cross loaded areas but they do not extend far downslop. At treeline a surface hoar layer is being found widespread up to 2200m down 30cm but a lack of a cohesive slab over this layer is preventing it being a problem...yet.  Facets are building over the november crusts but we are still generally only getting hard to no results on this layer.
