    Up to 35cm of snow is expected over the next 24hrs with more to follow. Winds will be strong from the SW. This will cause rapid storm slab development in lee and cross-loaded terrain.

Avalanche Summary

Nothing new observed, but observations were extremely limited.

Snowpack Summary

An additional 5 to 10cm of new snow fell through the day, but a significant storm is approaching. The November rain crust is found about 20 to 30cm off the ground and will be a layer to be aware of. Storm slab development is ongoing and will also be a significant concern over the next several days.
