Avalanche Summary

No new avalanche activity has been reported in the past few days.

Snowpack Summary

At upper elevations, the wind has varied in direction recently so expect wind slabs and wind-affected snow on all aspects. Up to 5 cm of snow may be covering a layer of surface hoar. A widespread crust, combined with a thin layer of weak facets in some areas, can be found buried 30 to 50 cm deep. This crust is only a concern in wind-loaded areas where a consolidated slab may be overlaying it. Otherwise, the mid and lower snowpack contains no other layers of concern.
