Snowpack Summary
Moderate rain to 2250m along with strong winds at tree line and above. Very limited observation of any alpine feature with snow on it, as the all peaks were obscure. Would suspect that there will be wind slabs forming and new cornice growth.
Terrain and Travel
- Watch for newly formed and reactive wind slabs as you transition into wind affected terrain.
- Avoid freshly wind loaded terrain features.
- Avoid areas with overhead hazard.
