Natural avalanche activity is expected to taper off somewhat throughout the day on Tuesday, however human triggered avalanches remain likely, especially in wind affected areas.
Snowpack Summary
20-40 cm of new snow is likely sitting on a mix of hard wind slabs, sugary faceted snow, and feathery surface hoar crystals, depending on location. Recent strong winds will have likely formed reactive storm slabs throughout the region. Total snowpack amounts are likely in the 60-120 cm range, tapering quickly at lower elevations.
Problems
