Please consider submitting a Mountain Information Network report if you head out. Even a photo of the mountains or an idea on the surface conditions helps!

Snowpack Summary

Around 10 to 20 cm of snow overlies a hard melt-freeze crust. This snow is likely wind-affected on exposed slopes at treeline and alpine elevations.

The mid and lower snowpack is well bonded with no concerns currently.

Data is very limited in this region.
