Snowpack Summary
The wind in the alpine has created both deep pockets of snow and removed the snow altogether depending on the location. The Oct 25th crust can be found as much as 30cm off the ground. This crust is most likely to be encountered between 2,000m-2,700m. The snow cover below treeline is very thin.

Problems
Deep Persistent Slabs
Deep Persistent Slab avalanches are the release of a thick cohesive layer of hard snow (a slab), when the bond breaks between the slab and an underlying persistent weak layer deep in the snowpack. The most common persistent weak layers involved in deep, persistent slabs are depth hoar or facets surrounding a deeply buried crust. Deep Persistent Slabs are typically hard to trigger, are very destructive and dangerous due to the large mass of snow involved, and can persist for months once developed. They are often triggered from areas where the snow is shallow and weak, and are particularly difficult to forecast for and manage.
