    New snow and moderate to strong winds forming wind slabs on leeward and cross-loaded terrain features.

  • Loose Dry

    Be cautious of thick to thin snowpack areas being likely trigger locations. The new windslabs forming have the potential to step down to the weakness at the base of the snowpack.

Decomposing surface hoar down 30cm to 50cm in sheltered locations treeline and below. The midpack is generally supportive with a weaker base consisting of facets and depth hoar. Avg depth is 65cm - 160cm depending

Avalanche Summary

Avalanche control on Parkers and Gravel Slopes today we had stubborn results, 2 out 14 avalauncher rounds produced up to size 2. Hand charging on gravel slopes no significant results. Several natural avalanches out of crossloaded wind effected alpine terrain up to size 3. Cornices continue to build at ridgetop but no observed failures.
