Quick report

The snow depths in this area range from 15 to 35 inches (40 - 90 cm). Boot penetration is to the ground in many areas. We found a variety of snow textures, including wind-hardened sastrugi, chock-like packed, and soft powder.

Snowpack

The snowpack in the Bighorn Mountains has reached a point where it is possible to find an avalanche, but there is still a low chance you will find many of them or avalanches of significant size until we receive more snow. Look for them in wind-loaded areas, primarily on the eastern half of the compass. The northern areas around 14A have the deepest snowpack and higher chances of lingering wind slabs.
