Snowpack Summary

Isolated pockets of wind slab will be found in exposed areas at upper elevations over an old snow interface of facets,  sun crust, wind effect, or surface hoar. 3 crusts extend into the lower limits of the alpine and are sitting dormant  in the snowpack, the Nov 24 crust seems to be providing mid-pack strength over a  lower, rotted, Halloween layer

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported or observed along the parkway.Explosive control at the local hill on Christmas Eve produced a few small avalanches from isolated pockets of wind slab.
