Snowpack Summary

10 cm of new snow now sits on top of old supportive crusts. This new snow is bonding well with the old surfaces due to the warm temperatures. Wind slabs are likely in lee and cross loaded features with todays strong to extreme S-SW winds.

Terrain and Travel

  • Fresh wind slabs will likely form throughout the day, diligently watch for changing conditions.
  • Avoid slopes that sound hollow or drum-like.
