Snowpack Summary
Recent heavy rainfall saturated the snowpack at all elevations and washed away much of the snow at lower elevations. Expect to find a crust buried under 20-30 cm of new snow. Travel in many places is rugged, with many open creeks and early season hazards, although Tuesday's heavy snow will be improving things. Snow depths at 1200 m are around 120 cm.
