Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches were reported in this region on Saturday. However, we currently have very few observations from within this region. Please post your observations to the Mountain Information Network. (MIN)

Snowpack Summary

10-15 cm of recent storm snow is sitting on a thick, hard crust. Some reports indicate there may be an early season crust near the bottom of the snowpack.There is an average of 70-120 cm of snow in the alpine. This decreases dramatically with elevation where the primary hazards are rocks, stumps, and open creeks.We currently have very limited snowpack observations, so it is critical to supplement this information with your own observations.

Avalanche Problems

Wind Slabs

The slopes that have the most snow to ride, may also be in areas most likely to trigger wind slabs.
Be careful with wind loaded pockets, especially near ridge crests and roll-overs.Stay alert to changing conditions with elevation.

Aspects: North, North East, East, North West.

Elevations: Alpine.

Likelihood: Unlikely

Expected Size: 1 - 1.5
