Avalanche Summary

No new avalanche reports since the weekend.

Snowpack Summary

Wind-affected snow sits on variable interfaces, including surface hoar in sheltered areas and sun crusts on solar aspects. These interfaces may be deeper on wind-loaded slopes.

A previous weak layer from early December (surface hoar or facet/crust combo) is found 50 to 120 cm deep, but snowpack tests and lack of recent activity suggest it's no longer a concern.

The lower snowpack is generally strong and bonded.
