Regions

South Coast.

A thick surface crust makes for difficult travel conditions. It may soften up slightly in the sun this afternoon.

Avalanche Summary

No new reports.

Snowpack Summary

A widespread crust caps the snow surface. The exception may be higher elevation north-facing slopes, where there could be roughly 10 cm of wind affected snow sitting above crusts. There could be some weak faceted snow forming around these crusts, but avalanches on this layer are unlikely at this point. The lower snowpack is well consolidated.

Terrain and Travel

  • A crust on the surface will help bind the snow together, but may make for tough travel conditions.
  • Be alert to conditions that change with elevation and sun exposure.
