Weather Forecast

Avalanche Summary

Nothing new from the last 24hrs. Some loose dry avalanches were noted from a few days ago. These were small (size 1). Some older windslabs were also noted.

Snowpack Summary

Windloading is ongoing at upper treeline and alpine elevations. There was some evidence today of a loose dry natural cycle running mid storm in steep terrain. No new windslabs were noted. Having said that, windslabs do exist in the alpine and  possibly in open areas at upper treeline.
