Avalanche Summary

A few natural wind slabs were observed in steep, north facing  terrain on Sunday. No other recent avalanches have been observed.

If you are heading into the backcountry, please consider sharing your observations with the Mountain Information Network.

Snowpack Summary

20 to 40 cm of recent storm snow, that was accompanied by light to moderate southwest wind, overlies the early February crust/facet layer. The snow surface may become moist on sun exposed slopes.

Another widespread crust/facet layer from late January is buried 30 to 60 cm deep.

The mid and lower snowpack is generally well settled and strong.

In forested areas, a light dusting of new snow overlies hard melt-freeze lumps creating very difficult travel conditions.
