Snowpack Summary
We currently have very limited snowpack observations, so it is critical to supplement this information with your own observations.In many areas, other than the highest accessible alpine areas, the entire snowpack may be moist. As temperatures are cooling, the snowpack is beginning to freeze from the surface downwards. Some reports indicate there may be an early season crust near the bottom of the snowpack. There is an average of 70-120 cm of snow in the alpine. This decreases dramatically with elevation where the primary hazards are rocks, stumps, and open creeks.
