Avalanche Summary

No recent avalanches have been reported.

Weather patterns suggest small wind slabs could exist on isolated terrain features, primarily high elevation north facing slopes.

Snowpack Summary

Scattered flurries over the past few days deposited 10 to 20 cm of snow above a widespread crust layer. South/southwest winds have redistributed this snow into deeper deposits around ridges at treeline and above.

The snowpack below the crust is strong and bonded.
