Snowpack Summary

The snowpack has undergone numerous melt-freeze cycles resulting in several crusts in the upper snowpack on all but high (>2400m) N aspects, where one can still find loose, dry snow. Check out this link for more info on spring conditions.

Avalanche Summary

Yesterday, a natural cornice release occurred on a north facing path of Mt Macdonald. The cornice chunks that dropped did not trigger an avalanche.

A natural size 2.0 glide slab released on Thursday night in Mounds (South aspect of Mt Tupper).
