In sintesi

As always, it's best to avoid rocky areas where the snowpack transitions from thin to thick.

Even if riding conditions aren't great, low hazard is a good time to explore new areas.

Snowpack Summary

5 cm of recent snow is sitting on an old wind affected snow surface in exposed terrain at treeline and alpine elevations. At treeline and below a layer of surface hoar has now been covered by new snow.

In sheltered terrain, 20 to 60 cm of faceted snow is sitting on a crust and in places surface hoar.

A layer of facets on top of a crust from early December is buried approximately 70 to 110 cm deep. This layer is generally not a concern in this region at this time.
