Quick report

Cracking
isolated

Mild weekend in the Pasayten with minimal avalanche concerns and difficult ski conditions. 

Widespread cycle last week. Relatively little instabilities this weekend. Few shallow cracking on start zones on northerly aspects.

Weather

Light snowfall and moderate temps, that hovered around freezing. Moderate winds predominately from the south.

Snowpack

Main concern was the surface conditions, which ranged from supportable crust to breakable crust, some dry pow, and refrozen avalanche debris.

Avalanche

Shallow wind slabs were reactive on Saturday (5-10cm). No other new avalanches since last week.
