    Windslabs have formed below ridgecrests, often on old crusts. New soft cornice buildup continues.

Weather Forecast

Moderately cool temperatures and light precipitation is forecast. Winds may be locally gusty as convective cells pass through.

Snowpack Summary

Below treeline the snow pack is a thick melt-freeze crust.10-20 cm of new snow in the alpine is forming wind slabs on east and north aspects. The midpack above treeline is well settled and overlies a weak facetted base. These basal facets have not been reactive recently, but should still be considered when making terrain choices.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches were observed or reported today.
