Avalanche Summary

No recent avalanches have been reported. If you see anything (or if you don't) while out in the field, please consider sharing that information with us and fellow recreationists via the Mountain Information Network (MIN).

Snowpack Summary

Recent reports describe a shallow snowpack across the region (see photos from these recent MIN reports). Surface snow in the alpine consists of hard wind pressed snow above a hard crust. Snow depths in the alpine range between 30 to 150 cm depending on the amount of wind affect. Snow depths taper quickly with elevation and there is little to no snow below 1600 m.
