Avalanche Summary

A sz 2 slab on a NE aspects at 2800m was observed along the goat range on Saturday. This slab wasnt deep or wide but it ran far on top of the november crust layer.

Snowpack Summary

A few cm of snow over the past 24hrs but not enough to make a difference. The warm temps are settling what snowpack there currently is and despite dry snow on northern aspects, the solar aspects are pretty crusty in steeper solar areas. The nov crust is down 10-20cm but the lack of load is keeping this layer from being an issue just yet. THis layer and the october crust near the ground will be important things to watch over the season.
