Lo esencial

A bit of new snow has fallen and freshened up the landscape out there. This new snow has not seen much wind effect yet but caution when it does as it will be sitting on a weak layer of facets on north and/or sun crust on steeper south aspects.

Snowpack Summary

K-Country region received up to 10cm of snowfall in the past 24 hours at treeline bringing our storm snow total up to about 25 cm in the alpine. Beneath this storm snow is the January 7th facets. This is a layer that has developed as a result of the long period of cold clear weather over mid December up until recently. The winds were pretty light today but picked up a bit today in the afternoon so there exists the potential for some wind slabs at immediately lee of ridge top and cross wind prone slopes.
