Avalanche Summary

We've had no reports of avalanche activity

Snowpack Summary

Wide variations in snowpack depth and structure exist throughout the region, and the area has been mostly below the threshold for avalanches up to this point. The exception may be isolated wind loaded pockets at higher elevations. Slopes with enough snow to ride may be the highest hazard areas.

Avalanche Problems

Storm Slabs

Forecast snowfall amounts are uncertain. The area has been below the threshold for avalanches up to this point with the exception of wind loaded pockets. Slopes with the most new snow may become the highest hazard areas.
The new snow will require several days to settle and stabilize.>Use caution in lee areas in the alpine. Recent wind loading has created wind slabs.>

Aspects: North, North East, East, South East.

Elevations: Alpine, Treeline.

Likelihood: Possible

Expected Size: 1 - 2
