Avalanche Summary

Numerous natural, skier, and explosive-triggered wind or storm slab avalanches, up to size 2, have been reported since Sunday. The majority of these avalanches occurred in alpine terrain, on a variety of aspects.

If you do go into the backcountry, please consider submitting a MIN report.

Snowpack Summary

Roughly 30 cm of recent snow has been redistributed by strong northerly winds. Below the recent snow, large surface hoar crystals and/or faceted crystals exist in wind-sheltered terrain at treeline and above.

A widespread, supportive crust exists down approximately 30 to 40 cm from the surface.

Below this crust, the mid and lower snowpack remains well-bonded with no layers of concern.
