Avalanche Summary
With little to speak of in terms of recent snowfall, the main concern right now is old wind slabs in open terrain. Last weekend several small human triggered wind slabs were reported around the Harvey Pass area. Cold windy weather over the past few days has potentially formed more thin wind slabs in open alpine terrain. Concern is reduced in areas where the snow depths have not yet reach the threshold for avalanches.
Snowpack Summary
Snowpack depths are highly variable this early in the season. There is a range of 50-100 cm of snow in the alpine. Two crusts have been reported in the middle of the snowpack. There is some uncertainty as to how well the snow is bonding to these crusts.
