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.
