The alpine rating is Deep Persistent Slabs.
, the treeline rating is , and the below treeline rating is Known problems includeDribs and drabs of snow over the past few days but generally not enough to improve the skiing or increase the avalanche danger. Hopefully more to come later in the week.
Summary
Weather Forecast
We are expecting a skiff of new snow overnight but not enough to change the overall avalanche danger. Winds will increase out of the SW so we may see the odd isolated windlslab begin to develop at higher elevations.
Avalanche Summary
No avalanches today.
Snowpack Summary
A skiff of snow over the past few 24hrs continues to bury the surface hoar in the upper snowpack but generally is doing little to change the overall bigger picture. The Dec13th crust along with the Nov6th Crust will likely turn into bigger issues as winter progesses.
Problems
Deep Persistent Slabs
No action on this layer as of late but its still in our minds. Likely to be triggerred from a thin snowpack area and involve the entire feature.
Make observations and assess conditions continually as you travel.>Avoid convexities or areas with a thin or variable snowpack.>
