Avalanche Summary
There are very few recent observations from the region. A couple natural size 2 slab avalanches were observed in wind-loaded terrain (N-NE aspects) at around 1800 m on Friday.
Snowpack Summary
Fresh and reactive wind slabs could be found in lee and cross-loaded features. There is a notable persistent weakness of buried surface hoar in many places, generally found between 30 and 60 cm deep. Wind, sunshine, and milder temperatures could help promote slab development in the snow overlying this interface. Stay tuned to signs of instability like recent avalanches, whumpfing, and shooting cracks. The mid pack that was reported to be well settled may have now facetted in the shallower areas, and the deeper basal layers are almost certainly facetted and weak.
