Snowpack Summary

15-30 cm of new snow with moderate southwesterly winds is sitting on a crust on all but northerly aspects, wind-affected surfaces in the alpine, and possibly a mixture of weak feathery surface hoar and/or sugary facets in sheltered terrain at treeline and below.A crust that recently formed right to mountain top on southerly aspects and on all aspects below 1700 m is now buried 50-80 cm deep. Additionally at this depth, feathery surface hoar may be found in shady sheltered areas at treeline. This layer is reported to be most prevalent in the far southeast of the region near Manning Park.The remainder of the snowpack is generally well-settled and strong.
