The snowpack is generally shallow and weak. Avalanches are possible and may be problematic for ice climbers moving through snow-covered, high-consequence terrain.
Isolated slab exists, more pronounced at ridge top with wind effect, over a weak faceted snowpack. A shallow snowpack, cold temps, and lack of new inputs will continue to rot the existing base and overall strength of the snowpack.
No new avalanches observed or reported.
Wind has scoured exposed areas at tree line and above. Wind-loaded locations have between 25-45cm of snow sitting over a faceted base. In general, the snowpack is shallow.
Surface hoar up to 5mm has grown in recent cold temperatures.
