Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported .

Snowpack Summary

Recent snow has settled to about 30cm at treeline and is becoming looser(facetted). Expect some recent windslabs in cross loaded gullies and isolated areas in the alpine. The Jan 30 interface is still a question in terms of location and character. It mostly seems to be either a melt/freeze crust, facet layer, buried wind slab or surface hoar. The midpack is supportive in most places, but in rocky areas it has become very weak and "punchy" while walking.

Weather Summary

Temperatures will start at about -24 and rise to -13 by 2pm. Winds will be light out of the SE. Skies will be a mix of sun and cloud.
