On average 7cm of snow fell at treeline over the past 24hrs with a moderate NW flow at upper elevations. This snow is overlying a well settled snowpack on northern aspects and more of a spring crusty snowpack on the solar aspects. With the more northern flow, we may see isolated windslabs on all aspects in the alpine.
