Snowpack Summary

40-60cm of new snow has fallen at 1800m elevation and above in last 4 days. This new snow sits on a crust at upper elevations. The snowpack continues to be moist or wet below this crust. Recent moderate to strong winds have created wind slabs in alpine leeward slopes. At lower elevations the snowpack is wet and isothermic.
