Snowpack Summary

At treelline and above, 10-20 cm of facetted snow sits overtop of a varying thickness crust that exist on all aspects except high elevation north (above 2500m). There is widespread wind effect in most alpine locations. Multiple crusts exist within the mid-pack on all aspects/elevations except high north.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches reported or observed today. Several natural and skier triggered cornice failures have been observed over the past week.
