    A layer of weak facets is lurking at the bottom of the snowpack. Though there has been limited activity on this layer, it is still on our mind with consistent sudden collapse results in test profiles.

Snowpack Summary

10-20cm of facetting storm snow has added to the formation of Windlsab in the alpine and at ridge top. Windslab will continue to be a primary concern on Tuesday as the forecasted snow is accompanied by moderate - extreme winds. The Midpack is strong in deep snowpack areas but the facets at the base of the snowpack remain a concern in shallow areas.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches observed.
