Snowpack Summary

10-15cm of snow fell Monday night. This snow fell with very light winds. This is sitting on top of a variety of wind pressed surfaces and bare rock. Use caution as the ground may be closer then you think in some location!

Terrain and Travel

  • Watch for newly formed and reactive wind slabs as you transition into wind affected terrain.
  • Be aware of the potential for large avalanches due to the presence of a persistent slab.
  • Watch for areas of hard wind slab on alpine features.
  • Even a small avalanche can be harmful if it pushes you into an obstacle or a terrain trap.
