Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported in the last four days.

Snowpack Summary

Previous strong to extreme winds have scoured exposed terrain on all aspects at treeline and alpine elevations. At treeline and below, a layer of surface hoar has formed on all aspects.

Two layers of surface hoar have been reported in the upper 60 cm of the snowpack, there hasn't been much avalanche activity on these layers.

A layer of facets on top of a crust from early December is buried 100 to 200 cm deep. This layer is generally not a concern in this region.
