Reported avalanche activity on Thursday was limited to small storm slabs.

Storm totals in the northern portion of the region are between 10 and 15 cm. Slightly more snow fell in the south of the region where they received 20 to 25 cm of snow. The storm featured moderate south/southwest winds which have likely formed storm slabs at and above treeline. Below the new snow, the snowpack is strong and well-settled throughout with no notable persistent weaknesses. Cornices are huge and fragile.
