Avalanche Summary
No new avalanches were reported in this region on Monday.
Snowpack Summary
A hard crust now caps the snowpack up to the tops of the North Shore mountains. High elevation terrain in other parts of the region could have up to 50 cm of recent snow, likely heavily wind affected. However there are no observations to confirm alpine conditions.
