Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches observed.

Snowpack Summary

Windslabs 20-40cm deep from moderate to strong SW winds. Some pockets of unconsolidated snow remain below treeline and in sheltered treeline areas. This overlies the January drought layer which includes facetted snow on northerly aspects or a melt freeze crust below treeline and on steep solar slopes into the alpine. Generally, the snowpack has become weak and facetted.

Snowpack depths at treeline range from 75 - 150 cm.

Weather Summary

Temps continue to warm with a small amount of precip on the way Friday.
