Avalanche Summary

Nothing new was seen today.

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.
