We have no recent observations, but it looks wet and soggy at lower elevations. The exception is in the alpine where storm slabs and cornices likely pose a serious threat. Please let us know what you're seeing on the MIN!

Snowpack Summary
Before the most recent storm, snow depths were around 50 to 90 cm at treeline and alpine elevations. Monday and Tuesday's intense precipitation event probably rain-soaked the existing snowpack up to about 1900 m. Temperatures remained cool on Tuesday above 1900 m, when 15 to 20 cm of snow fell. Moderate to strong south/southwest wind on Monday and Tuesday likely formed storm slabs, cornices, and wind damaged snow in high elevation alpine terrain.
