Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported since before last weekend.

Please consider submitting your observations to the Mountain Information Network.

Snowpack Summary

Thursday's snowfall dropped around 10 cm onto surface hoar crystals. Observations are few and far between so it's unknown how widespread the surface hoar is.

Below that is a thick rain-crust, down 20 to 30 cm, from late last week.

The remainder of the snowpack is strong, with various hard layers and crusts.
