Snowpack Summary
On lee slopes, windslab sits on top of a 5-10cm thick crust between roughly 2100m and 2600m. These slabs may be touchy in cross-loaded areas within the elevation band where the crust exists. Facets are present on top of this crust but the snow appears to be quite well bonded to this layer.
Avalanche Summary
No avalanche patrol today.
Confidence
Timing, track, or intensity of incoming weather system is uncertain on Friday
