Snowpack Summary
10-35cm of recent snow with SW winds has formed wind slabs in many areas in the alpine and isolated areas at treeline. The Nov 12 crust down 20-50cm is present on all aspects and elevations except for northerly alpine slopes. At this point the bond to the crust seems strong. Below this the base is supportive except in thin snowpack areas.
Avalanche Summary
Small loose dry avalanches out of extreme alpine terrain, No slab avalanches observed.
