Highlights

Happy Holidays!! Remember that the snowpack is still delicate despite the storm being long over. It is still a good idea to avoid any exposure to big avalanche terrain. Even small, low angle slopes could produce avalanches. See the Special Public Avalanche Warning for details.

Snowpack Summary

Overall not a lot of change in the last 24 hours. The storm snow is still noticeably stiffer than the underlying layers which is creating problems. The new snow is having a hard time bonding to the weal mid pack. Whumphing and cracking are still occurring, especially below treeline.

Terrain and Travel

  • Avoid steep convex slopes.
  • Be aware of the potential for large avalanches due to the presence of a deep persistent slab.
