Confidence

Poor - Due to the number of field observations

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported.

Snowpack Summary

So far, we only have limited information from the field. Initial reports suggest that there is little snow below treeline. Recent outflow winds have created variable wind slabs and crusts at higher elevations. Incoming snow may bond poorly to this concoction of surfaces. In some places, a crust, surface hoar or facets can be found in the upper snowpack. A persistent weak layer exists at the base of the snowpack in the north of the region, however I am not sure how widespread this is. Information is limited - share yours through the Mountain Information Network.
