Snowpack Summary
The Oct crust and november crust are both obvious within the snowpack. The Nov 9 crust is down 20-30cm and so far not producing avalanches. Surface snow is variable and ranges from dry and loose in sheltered areas, to crusts on due south aspects and wind slabs in many alpine areas. Basically expect a shallow, variable snowpack.
Problems
Wind Slabs
Be on the lookout for wind slab, especially in gullies and lee features. Wind prone areas at treeline may have small slabs.
- Be careful with wind loaded pockets, especially near ridge crests and roll-overs.
- Be very cautious with gully features.
