Buried weak layers are an unusual feature of the snowpack in this region.
Choose conservative terrain and avoid steep or large open slopes.
Watch for fresh wind slabs at higher elevations where dry snow can be found. Wind slabs likely sit over a crust, increasing reactivity.
While avalanche activity on this layer has decreased, persistent slab avalanches remain possible and are most likely to be triggered by large loads such as cornice falls.
No new avalanches were reported.
Avalanche activity on the November crust layer has decreased, persistent slabs remain possible and are most likely to be triggered by large loads.
Roughly 10 cm of new snow redistributed by strong southwest wind may be found at at upper elevations.
A mid November melt–freeze crust with surface hoar and/or faceted grains lies 40–80 cm below the snow surface. Another crust and facet combination from late October can be found at the base of the snowpack.
