Snowpack Summary

Recent wind has formed wind slabs in the alpine and at treeline. Due to variable wind directions, wind slabs may be found on all aspects. Sun crust are likely found on south-facing slopes. In some sheltered areas, 20-50 cm of recent snow sits on facets (sugary snow) and surface hoar (feathery crystals), but no recent activity has been reported on these layers. In the south of the region, the lower snowpack is generally strong.
