Weather Forecast
Cold conditions with no new snow in the forecast. Some drifting in exposed alpine elevations is likely in moderate to strong northerly winds.

Previous wind slabs are providing bridging strength over a weak basal facet layer at treeline and alpine elevations. Extensive scouring of the snowpack has occurred in the high alpine. Reasonable ski conditions can be found in sheltered features at treeline and below.
