Avalanche Summary
Storm snow was very reactive on Saturday, with numerous reports of size 1-2 slab avalanches being triggered by skiers, including remotely (from a distance). Activity occurred on all aspects at both treeline and below treeline elevations. Conditions were likely similar in alpine terrain.
Snowpack Summary
Recent snowfall has buried a hard rain crust that extends into alpine terrain. The crust is now roughly 40 cm below the surface, and reports suggest the snow will take several days to bond to the crust. The result is a very touchy storm slab above the crust. There are no significant layers of concern below the crust.
