• Uncertainty is due to the timing, track, & intensity of the incoming weather system.
• Forecast snowfall amounts are uncertain.

There have been no new reports of avalanches.

On Tuesday and Wednesday, there were several small (size 1) skier-triggered storm slabs that were around 30 cm deep.

Up to 60 cm of recent storm snow overlies a melt-freeze crust from the beginning of the year.

The mid and lower snowpack has two crusts that are between 50 and 150 cm deep. These crusts are not currently a concern.

The snowpack is generally well settled and dense.
