Central Cascades
Danger d’avalanche
Points saillants
We should see a little more precipitation overnight with an inch or two of snow near treeline and above. This minimal amount of new snow won't significantly change the avalanche hazard as instabilities created by the new snow will be very shallow. Low hazard rarely means no hazard. Very shallow instabilites may exist on North and East slopes where a little more snow has blown in.
Avalanche Discussion
An inch of new snow is unlikely to create significant Wind Slabs in all but the most perfect, "goldilocks" terrain (think very shallow instabilites on isolated slopes).
Our snow pack is very shallow for this time of year. The height of snow at our highest snow parks is around 45 cm. and there are many exposed rocks, logs, and stumps. Up higher it gets a bit better with around 90 cm. near treeline. Our snow surface has been pretty crusty for most of last week. With warmer, wetter weather on Monday the surface snow melted up to around 7000 ft. (above 7000 ft. it remained crusty).
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the next active weather pattern on Friday will deliver even a few inches of snow!
