Confidence
High
- We are confident the likelihood of avalanches will increase with the forecast weather.
Avalanche Summary
No recent avalanche activity has been reported but we expect a widespread cycle of natural activity from the heavy rain and wind to occur.
Snowpack Summary
Rain continues to saturate up to 60 cm of recent snow that sits over a thick, widespread crust.
Below, the remainder of the snowpack is generally settled and well-bonded.
