Snowpack Summary
Monday's storm snow has fallen on a variety of old surfaces including crust, surface hoar and old settled snow. In the southern portion of the region MIN reports suggest that a surface crust can be found up to 2200m. The current state of the snowpack is a bit complex, in the upper 100cm you're likely to find one or more surface hoar layers and maybe a crust or two. Facets may exist just above the ground on shaded slopes in the alpine.
