Snowpack Summary
Below a thin skiff of new snow from Saturday night, a melt freeze cycle has allowed for surface crust formation down to about 1500 metres as of Sunday morning. The snowpack is generally well settled and strong, but basal weaknesses in the far north of the region remain a concern. With that said, the possible triggers for deep weaknesses in this part of the region are likely limited to large cornice falls.
