Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches observed or reported.

Snowpack Summary

Wind effect exists in the alpine and into treeline. The thin snowpack is quickly facetting with the cool temperatures and surface hoar growth is occurring. 50-80 cm of total snow at treeline throughout the region, with up to 120 cm in loaded alpine features. Below treeline, the snowpack is generally below the threshold for avalanches.

Weather Summary

An arctic front passed through the region on Wednesday leaving a trace of new snow behind. In its wake, expect clear, calm and cold temperatures for a few days with lows below -20 and gradual warming towards the weekend.
