Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been observed in the past 3 days.

Snowpack Summary

Surface windslabs, 5 - 20 cm thick in most areas. This overlies old hard windslabs, or a melt freeze crust below treeline and in steep solar locations at higher elevations. Ski quality is generally poor as the surface snow is hard or is unsupportive and breakable. The lower snowpack is well settled with no significant weak layers.

Snowpack depths at treeline range from 80 - 120 cm.
