    Strong winds over the last week have created scoured snow surfaces and wind effected snow conditions at most all elevations.  In some wind exposed areas, firm and icy crusts exist that have potential fall hazards.  Finding consistent soft snow has become more challenging in protected below treeline terrain with a mix of snow conditions present.  Avalanche activity remains unlikely today.

    Practice good travel techniques when in the backcountry by having a travel plan, communicating within your group, and managing any terrain hazards.    

Avalanche Discussion

*  At Indian Valley on Tuesday (Ebbetts Pass area) a light dusting of new snow was seen with moderate NE winds and some snow transport throughout the day.  The shallow snowpack continues to weaken and facet in this area.

*  Observations near Mt. Tallac (Desolation Wilderness Area) on Monday showed a shallow snowpack near and below 7400'.  Ice and rock existed with overall poor travel conditions.

*  A relatively shallow snowpack exists throughout the forecast region with 2-3' of snow or less in most areas.  The shallow snowpack continues to weaken and facet over time with cold temperatures and clear skies.  These weak layers could represent a problem during future loading events.
