Points saillants

Status quo out there in the land of K-Country.  The drought persists and no significant snowfall is forecast.  Climbers and skiers still need to watch out for the loose dry avalanche issue when venturing out onto the bigger slopes and tight gulleys.

Snowpack Summary

Minor wind effect observed in the alpine. Northerly winds have stripped snow off of north aspects and re-distributed on southerly aspects. The upper 3rd of the snowpack is completely facetted out at all aspects and elevations apart from areas of wind slabs in the immediate lee of ridgetop.
