Points saillants

Other than some sluffing in the new snow, there is not enough snow and wind to significantly change the avalanche danger at this time; however, remember that risk is always inherent in mountain travel.

We are not issuing danger ratings at this time, but are posting observations every day now, so submit an avalanche or observation HERE. Read observations HERE.

    The pre-existing snow prior to this week's storm had turned weak and sugary. However, the 2-4" storm totals weren't enough to make this weak layer reactive. With snow and wind forecasted for much of this upcoming week, the weak faceted snow on northerly aspects in the upper elevations may become active. Below is a photo and video from Doug Wewer's excellent observation from Sunday, November 17:
