Avalanche Summary
Some small loose wet natural avalanches were reported on Saturday in the south of the region with the start of the warming. Overall, we have very limited data. Please submit your observations to the Mountain Information Network (MIN).
Snowpack Summary
Daytime warming has only had effects on steep sunny slopes. With decreasing temperatures and some thin cloud, the sun's effects will be minimal. The late November crust is down 60-75cm and snowpack tests suggest the snow is bonding well.Below treeline, the snowpack is shallow--look out for early season hazards like open creeks and tree stumps.
