Avalanche Summary
No new avalanches were observed.
Snowpack Summary
The upper snow pack has started to facet out with the colder temperatures from last week. Some sluffing from skier traffic will likely occur on steep or unsupported terrain.The main concern is for thin wind slabs along ridge lines from last week's winds and the buried wind slabs down 30-40cm. The October and November crusts are closer to ground but we haven't seen any avalanche activity on this layer just yet. The valley bottom is still challenging due to the lack of snow. It will be a different ball game when we get more snow.
Problems
Wind Slabs
Most likely found near ridge lines and lee features.
