Snowpack Summary

45cms of mostly undisturbed storm snow blanketing the region. This overlies a mosaic of buried wind slabs and facetted weak layers. Basal layers continue to develop into larger facets and depth hoar. Surface hoar growing in sheltered areas.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches observed or reported

Problems

Loose Dry

Loose Dry avalanches are the release of dry unconsolidated snow and typically occur within layers of soft snow near the surface of the snowpack. These avalanches start at a point and entrain snow as they move downhill, forming a fan-shaped avalanche. Other names for loose-dry avalanches include point-release avalanches or sluffs.
