Snowpack Summary
Wind slab continues to be a problem at higher elevations. Sustained strong winds Thursday have stripped exposed slopes, adding more load to lees. A supportive upper snowpack overlies surface hoar, crusts, and facets. The depth of these layers varies from 75cm to 150cm. The persistent problem has been producing large avalanches over the past week.

No new natural avalanches activity observed Friday. Reports of small skier triggered wind slabs, isolated to ridge crest were noted by ski patrol.
