Recent Activity
No backcountry avalanches were reported. We received a few observations from the backcountry on Sunday:
A common theme from these observations is the few inches of snow at the surface has weakened and turned to facets and surface hoar (photo Jonathan Melton). The weak snow at the surface is currently providing soft travel and riding conditions, but it may be a weak layer with any future storms.
