Lo esencial

Generally safe avalanche conditions in most areas. If the winds pick up, thin wind slabs may form on lee features in the alpine.

    Watch for sings of wind moving the snow around such as snow blowing off of ridges and deep pockets of snow on leeward slopes. Avoid slopes where the snow feels stiff or 'slabby'.

Confidence

Moderate - Due to the number of field observations

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches were reported in this region on Friday.

Snowpack Summary

The snow that fell last weekend has seen little wind effect in many areas throughout the region. If winds pick up this weekend, freshly formed thin wind slabs will be the primary concern. The mid pack is reported to be well settled. There is sufficient snow on the ground for avalanches at treeline and alpine elevations, and possibly in some below treeline locations. Reports suggest typical treeline snow depths are around 110-150 cm, but a report from the east side of region indicated a much lower snow depth of around 90 cm. Limited reports suggest the crust from the middle of November is down 50-80 cm and the crust from early November is down 80-110 cm.
