Snowpack Summary

20-50 cm of snow is on the ground in the area surrounding Cameron Lake. 5-10cm of recent snow will form new windslabs in the alpine and at tree line as winds increase Friday afternoon. The Nov 5 Melt freeze crust is present below 1950m on all aspects. Many areas are still below threshold.
