Avalanche Summary
No new avalanches have been reported since the weekend, when a few small wet loose avalanches were observed.
Snowpack Summary
Expect wet and moist surfaces on sun-exposed slopes.
At upper elevations, 20 to 40 cm of snow from recent flurries is bonding quickly to a wet, well-bonded snowpack. (Check out the final North Shore Snowpack video from last Friday.)
At lower elevations, the rain-saturated snowpack thins rapidly with elevation.
