Choose small, low consequence slopes.
Storm slabs are likely sensitive to rider traffic.
A couple of concerning weak layers exist in the top meter of the snowpack.
Storm slabs could step down to these layers resulting in larger avalanches.
No new avalanches have been reported.
Reports have been limited. Please consider submitting your observations to the Mountain Information Network.
By the morning of November 29 up to 30 cm could overlie variable snow surfaces, including small facets and/or surface hoar in sheltered areas and heavily wind-affected snow in exposed terrain.
Two surface hoar layers can be found in the mid pack, one down 30 to 55 cm and another down 45 to 85 cm at treeline.
A rain crust from early November is buried 60 to 90 cm deep and seems to be bonding well to overlying layers.
Alpine snow depths vary greatly across the region and from aspect to aspect.
