Avalanche Summary

On Wednesday, only a few explosive triggered wind slab avalanches were reported. On Tuesday, a few human triggered wind/storm slabs up to size 1 were observed on sun affected slopes in the alpine.On Monday, only a few human triggered loose wet avalanches to size 1 were reported.

Snowpack Summary

Last week's unsettled weather produced 10-35 cm of snow that sits on a melt-freeze crust on all aspects, but on north facing slopes above 2000 m, where the recent new snow sits on dry snow and surface hoar (feathery crystals). The recent snow is bonding well with the underlying layers. Recent snowfall amounts taper quickly below treeline.
