Avalanche Summary

Snowpack Summary

Surface snow consists of sun crusts on solar aspects and surface hoar growth averaging 5 mm on sheltered, shady aspects extending into the alpine in some areas. A layer of small surface hoar (5 mm) buried in late February has been reported in isolated locations at treeline and below.In the upper/mid-pack you will likely find layers of crusts, facets, and isolated surface hoar buried 50-100 cm below the surface. Deeper in the snowpack, around 150-200 cm down there is a crust/surface hoar layer from January. Sugary facets near the bottom of the snowpack would likely be found in colder and dryer parts of the region, such as the far north.
