Snowpack Summary
In March so far we have seen nearly 1m of new snow and strong to extreme winds from the south. Late February crusts are buried 50-90cm deep on solar aspects, and a spotty mixed form layer lies under the storm snow on more polar asp. The Nov Cr remains dormant while the midpack is gaining strength and rounding.
Avalanche Summary
Avalanche activity has been decreasing as a trend, however we are still observing infrequent natural wind slabs failing in steep terrain in the highway corridor to size 2.5.
Confidence
Due to the number of field observations
