Storm slabs may remain touchy even though the storms have passed, especially at higher elevations and on wind-loaded features.

Snowpack Summary
30-70 cm of recent snow formed storm and wind slabs that were reactive to human triggers over the weekend. These slabs will likely become less reactive in the coming days but will still require careful slope by slope evaluation. Reports suggest the the mid-November crust down 60-120 cm is well bonded to the overlying snow. Below the crust the snowpack is generally well settled. Limited observations suggest snowpack depths vary greatly throughout the region and are on average 100-180 cm at treeline elevations with generally less snow in the southern portion of the region.
