Quick Observation

Good conditions for quick travel, generally poor skiing with some isolated pockets of good snow below treeline. Lots of wind in the Wheaton over the last week. Temps were -25 in the morning and -6 at 4pm. Observed some small size 1 natural avalanches on solar aspects where terrain was steep and snowpack thin.

Avalanche Information

Triggered a small windslab on the edge of a gully. Not enough slope to get substantial runout. Definitely some sensitive slabs around, chose your lines wisely!

Snowpack

Surface hoar forming below treeline on-top of sugary facets. Inverted snowpack is common. At and above treeline is generally sastrugi and crusts of variable hardness.
