If you are heading into the backcountry, please share your observations by posting a MIN.

Snowpack Summary

A widespread crust has likely formed on all aspects and elevations above 1400 m. Below this, 10 to 30 cm of wet snow sits above another thick crust.

Below, the remainder of the snowpack is generally settled and well-bonded.
