Although a strong snowpack exists and conditions are stable, we believe there are still isolated, hard wind slabs in alpine areas. Keep a watch for these near ridge crests or at the tops of couloirs.
Summary
Weather Forecast
Light flurries expected for Thursday, with temperatures remaining cool between -8 and -15 and light west winds. This pattern will continue through the weekend, with possibly a bit more snow for Saturday.
Snowpack Summary
A comparatively stable snowpack exists for the end of November. In general, the deep snowpack is solid and carries well, although valley bottoms are very shallow. From treeline and up, 70-100 cm of snow has one significant crust in the mid-pack that we are watching, but it is not producing avalanches. Isolated wind slabs exist above treeline.
Avalanche Summary
No new avalanches observed or reported today.
