Snowpack Summary

Lower density snow sits on top of a 10cm thick laminated crust at tree line, below the crust is 20-30cm of large grain snow to ground. Pockets of wind slab may exist in the alpine and resting on the crust up to 2600m. Below treeline is un-skiable due to lack of snow. Early season conditions exist at all elevations.
