Snowpack Summary

New wind slab can be found on easterly aspects in exposed treeline and above. 10 to 20cm overlies a crust on solar aspects and all aspects below 2000m. Moist snow will likely be observed below treeline.

Terrain and Travel

  • Seek out sheltered terrain where new snow hasn't been wind-affected.
