Snowpack Summary

Wide variations in snowpack depth and structure exist throughout the region. The region has been mostly below the threshold for avalanches up to this point.  Data indicates snow amounts are well below the seasonal average, but the exception may be isolated wind loaded pockets at tree line or higher elevations. Slopes with enough snow to ride may be the ones most likely to avalanche.
