In sintesi

Conditions are improving but in very small and slow steps.  Whumpfing and settlements are still occurring indicating that the snowpack is still trigger-able by skiers.

    Facets overlying the Nov 6th crust are still producing whumpfs and settlements indicating that this layer is still possible for skiers to trigger.

Weather Forecast

We are in a holding pattern weather wise until saturday wherein we may see up to 10cm of new snow.  Clear and moderate sw winds until then...

Avalanche Summary

No new natural avalanche activity was observed today but there is still evidence of the widepsread cycle from last week.

Snowpack Summary

Winds increased over the past few days making skiing in most open wind affected areas less than perfect.  Storm snow sheers have tightened up but there is still the problem associated with the Nov 24th facets (down 50-60cm) and the Nov 6th rain crust down 70-90cm.  Both of these layers are continuing to produce sheers in the easy to moderate range.
