    The snowpack continues to gain strength and consolidate.  At most locations above 7000', 2.5 feet of snow exists with up to 5 feet of snow at higher elevations.  Forecasted light snow showers and winds today should not be able to create any meaningful wind slab development.  Wet surface snow may continue in areas that didn't receive an overnight freeze or in densely treed areas.  Normal caution is advised. 

    Continue to practice safe travel protocols while in the backcountry.  Check your avalanche rescue equipment and find the time to practice avalanche rescue scenarios with your partners.

Avalanche Discussion

* Wet and heavy snow was observed below 8000' on all aspects with colder winter snow at higher elevations.

* Small loose wet avalanche (D1) observed on the S side of Castle Peak.

* Snowpits from Castle Peak and Red Lake Peak showed a mostly right side up and deep (for early December) snowpack.  A mostly supportable snowpack exists above 7000', 2.5 to 5' deep.
