Avalanche Summary
No new avalanches
Snowpack Summary
Not a lot of change over the last two days, or the days to come from the looks of it. The crusts that formed in early Nov are still intact despite the cold temps. There is some question to the upper limits if this crust, but we expect it is up to atleast 2600m. Once travel improves, this will be nailed down a little better. On the crust there is 20-30 of loose, facetted snow at 2200m. Above 2200m there are isolated pockets of windslab, which could be easily triggered in the right terrain. Unsupported slopes should be treated with caution.
