Snowpack Summary

Welcome to winter! As we begin our forecasting season, we are working with limited information from the field. Early reports suggest there's enough snow for avalanches at alpine elevations in some places. Recent snow is likely to have been redistributed into slabs on lee slopes at alpine elevations. This snow may overlie a weak old snow surface (surface hoar, facets and/or a crust) which developed during the recent dry spell. Check the bond of the snowpack at this level and take a cautious approach as new snow builds deeper above this layer.
