Snowpack Summary
Up to 50 cm of settled storm snow has been saturated by rain up to about 2100m. Cooling has frozen the snow surface into a hard crust at most elevations. At the highest elevations you might find dense, stubborn wind slabs in lee terrain. At very low elevations, or on south-facing slopes during the day, you might find some areas with moist or wet snow on the surface.For now, at least, deeper snowpack weaknesses have become unreactive on account of the strong capping crust layer.
