NOTE: Observations are currently very limited in this region.

Snowpack Summary

Up to 15 cm of recent snow and moderate variable wind may have formed wind slabs on lee slopes at upper elevations.

This snow overlies a robust crust everywhere except northerly aspects at upper elevations, where previous snow surfaces may have remained dry.

The mid/lower snowpack is well settled and strong.

Lower elevations are melting out rapidly.
