Snowpack Summary
Minimal, crusty snow everywhere in the mountains. The snowpack varies in height from 0 to 35 cm at mid-mountain. At and below treeline, many areas are now uncovered, and there is no longer enough snow to produce avalanches at these elevations. In the alpine, isolated depressions and concavities retain a certain amount of snow.
