Snowpack Summary

Ongoing moderate to strong westerly winds have created fresh wind slabs in N to E features. The upper snowpack overlies several crusts / facet layers in the upper 40cm, and a faceted layer down 70cm on shady aspects. Expect unsupportive slush at lower elevations in the afternoon if the sun comes out.  Watch for building storm slabs in the PM.
