Avalanche Summary

No new naturals observed however, a size 3 windslab result was reported with explosives from a nearby ski hill.

Snowpack Summary

30 cm of unconsolidated snow has been redistributed into windslabs in exposed areas. A recently buried thin crust exists on solar aspects. This overlies a thick melt-freeze crust on all aspects and elevations. Below this, the snowpack is moist to ground at treeline and below, now slowly refreezing. Significantly less snow in the eastern areas of the park. Snowpack depths between 30 - 150 cm.
