Snowpack Summary
North and west winds have created isolated wind slabs 5 to 10 cm thick on high elevation lee slopes. On other slopes you may find stubborn old wind slabs and surface facets. Melt-freeze conditions can be found on all solar aspects and at lower elevations. The snowpack is generally strong and well settled. However, large cornices may become weak with daytime warming.
