Snowpack Summary

Heavy snowfall and strong winds are expected for Thursday, changing conditions drastically. The snow and strong winds will add a heavy load to an already weak snowpack. The bottom 50cm of the snowpack is mostly made up of facets. Natural and human avalanche triggering will become likely on Thursday.
