Snowpack Summary

Most slopes have entered a daily melt-freeze cycle, with the exception of north-facing terrain above 1800 m. On these colder slopes, you may find 10-30 cm of dry powder or isolated wind slabs. Elsewhere, the surface has been melting each day and then freezing into a hard crust overnight. Snow is disappearing rapidly at lower elevations.
