A few cms of new snow is incoming overnight but this will not be enough to cause a significant change in danger levels. A few large avalanches this past week indicate the basal layers may be starting to wake up.

Snowpack Summary
Light flurries were falling throuhgout the day on Wednesday but there was very little accumulations by 1600. Not much is changing out there right now. Widespread windslabs in the alpine should be expected and these windslabs even extend down into treeline in some areas. At treeline and below there are a few surface hoar layers in the top 1m of the snowpack that skiers need to be aware of. Being down less than 1m, they are within the realm of skier triggerring. Use caution in unskied areas, and in steeper or unsupported slopes. THe Nov crust is also a basal layer that we are starting to see sporadic activity on these days. Treat large alpine features with caution.
