The early season snowpack is shallow and weak. At higher elevations expect to find isolated areas of avalanche hazard. Be wary of the consequences of even a small avalanche when exposed to steep terrain and/or terrain traps.

Snowpack Summary
Little wind effect observed in Alpine and Treeline areas. Snowpack remains below threshold at lower elevations. The November rain crust is 4 to 5cm thick at treeline and is buried down 10 to 15cm. An October rain crust is also evident at the base of the snowpack.
